Talk:Mont Blanc Noland

Reason for "Montblanc"
I don't know if anyone else knows this, but the reason for most fan translators translate the Montblanc family name as "Montblanc" instead of Monbran or such is because of the Japanese words in the name. The Japanese wording is "モンブラン". This resembles モンブラン which is Japanese for the word. It can be seen here, the Japanese article for the desert called Mont Blanc, and here, the Japanese article for the french mountain called Mont Blanc. Just stating this as there might be people who would question this.Mugiwara Franky 02:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Name
Well, his firstname, Norland (or Noland), i have two possible reasons behind it; No-land, referring to the golden city he saw that noone else saw, there was no land. The other reason is that in Swedish, Norland (though spelled Norrland in swedish) means "northern lands". Norr = North and land = land, thereby norhten lands. The Norrland is a wide place in north Sweden. 83.250.2.60 19:57, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * So you have proof that Norland's name comes from the english name and not from my reasons? Oda may not know that name, he's a japanese, he doesn't know all the names in USA/Brittain/whatever. I have not read the green databook, what does it say there about his name? 83.250.2.60 13:03, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
