Spelling?

[edit]

It is interesting that all the articles I've read about these martyrs spell the name "Nunilo", but the carving in this article clearly reads "Nonyla" I would have expected the "-a" as a feminine name. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 16:44, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not uncommon for a male's name to end in "-a", like Agila I (Visigoth), Totila (Ostrogoth) or Attila (Hun), though I don't know why "Nonyla" end up being known as "Nunilo". José Luiz talk 17:22, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nunilo and Alodia names

[edit]

Some references (eg Evangeliodeldia.org, saints of the day section, Oct 22) point at least Nunilo being a Roman name; from 800 to 862, Musa II ibn Musa was Walid of Huesca and Tudela, he was born from Musa ibn Fortun, Walid at Zaragoza (The surname Fortun exists today in Zaragoza, and elsewhere in Spain, eg Elena Fortun, a children tales series writer: 'Celia'), coming from Abd-al-'Aziz Musa al-Bekir, 680-717, first governor of Ifriquiya and Al-Andalus, from the line of Ruqayyah, second girl from Mohamed and his first wife Khadijah; the article wording does not clarify if Nunilo and Alodia got Martyrdom in Huesca, most probably, or in Al-Andalus, were the main ruler: Abd ar-Rahman (II or III?) resided.
