Change "The reason the princely family felt a need for Slavic names was to accommodate the local Slavic nobility", In urban to "The penetration of Slavic names into princely anthroponymicon indicates the beginnings of assimilation processes. Princes of Scandinavian origin started to feel a necessity and found it possible to borrow local names for at least some of their scions thus breaking off with the ancestral tradition of naming" or something similar to show that the royal family was beginning to merge with their eastern slavic peoples local custom. The lack of mention of Sviatoslav as the start of the assmilation process into the slavic is a oversight in the article. RayquayZzZ (talk) 23:53, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Oh, I guess you were interpreting the refernce[1] cited there. In my opinion both versions are bad: "the princely family felt a need" and "started to feel a necessity and found it possible" are both far-stretched guessworks based on scarce records on the period. Surely no prince said "I feel a need".
I reviewed the paragraph in question and the source cited and removed it althogether, because it was a liberal interpretation by a wikipedian: "wants to give", "felt a need" - there is no basis to read the minds of Varangians. - Altenmann>talk20:28, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
