    Totanism and family names

    Totanism has been main symbolic recognition of people since ancient times as far as humans are able to trace their history.

    The earliest humans/nomads/travelers/hunter-gatherers recognized themselves with elements of nature.

    This thread is to explores these elements.

    One example is Rose which in other parts of the world and languages become Rose, Ross, Rossi, Ruus, Ruuska.

    While we know, Rose is a flower, it is possible that the early nomads/travelling people identified themselves with flower, animals, plants, etc.

    In Indo European langauges adding suffixes and prefixes to give meaning to a word is a known fact. Example in case of Rose can be Ruus+Ka, which could mean people from the Rose clan. Root word being Rose, i.e. name of the flower.

    Name of tribes with Indian plants, flowers, animals, etc. could have been result of mixture of the Indo European tribes with local tribes of India, and these recognition's could have carried to far off places across the world as the borders of ancient India were open for travel.

    There could have been two waves of tribal namification one which connected with native Indian tribes based on plants, animals, flowers,etc. and the other wave would have been adoption of this Indian tribal namification by tribes moving into India due to adoption of local religion and other local factors.

    One must understand that in ancient times, people were travelling far off places and often due to wars, natural calamities, migrations, etc., people/groups/tribes, used to take different migration routes or settlements etc. Therefore it is possible that people with same clan names might have different pronunciations/recognition's etc. due to time, place, etc. of migration.

    words and their pronunciation

    There are lot of very similar sounding words and are often confusing although the origins of these words might be different and so might be the meaning:

    e.g. Sia, Sya, Saya, Shia all three words sound close but have very different meaning and roots.
