Hi! Sorry, I don't speak latin. Why is this guy called "Petrus" and not Pierre here? -- seth (disputatio) 16:48, 10 Iunii 2012 (UTC)
- Because it is traditional, in writing Latin, to use the Latin version of a person's first name. "Petrus" is the Latin version of the French name "Pierre". Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 16:55, 10 Iunii 2012 (UTC)

- What about Elizabeth? :-) Neander (disputatio) 17:29, 10 Iunii 2012 (UTC)
- Didn't she command us to call her Elizabeth in Latin, and don't we obey the royal command? ;) IacobusAmor (disputatio) 17:31, 10 Iunii 2012 (UTC)
- More than that, she wrote (or her amanuenses wrote) her name as "Elizabeth" in Latin contexts, most visibly in coin legends ("Elizabeth Dei gratia regina" etc.). Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 09:25, 29 Ianuarii 2024 (UTC)
