Myrddin and Merlin. From Onomastic to Mythology
View through CrossRef
Le nom du devin gallois Myrddin a reçu plusieurs étymologies qui satisfont plus ou moins : Myrddin viendrait de *moridunon « Forteresse de la mer » (Loth, Guyonvarc’h, Lambert), de *mŏrĭi̯īn- « celui de la Mer » (Hamp) ou mirzin / milzin « délicat » (Fleuriot). Par ailleurs, le nom roman de Merlin serait celui d’un oiseau, français « merle » ou « Faucon » (moyen anglais merlin). Cette étude phonétique, lexicale et mythologique tente de montrer comment Myrddin et Merlin dérivent de la thématisation, bien attestée, du vieux celtique *mero « fou » et que cette appellation a dû signifier « le Maître de la folie », c’est-à-dire « l’Inspiré ».
