User:Winnen

My Wikipedia name is Nike, which I have used online since it was given to me in 1980. I was unable to register this here. Since I was posting on the Anglish site, I decided to use an Anglo-Saxon translation. Nike is Greek for "victory", which itself is borrowed from Latin. A synonym for "victory" is "win", which seemed too short and a bit strange, so I used the Middle English form, winnen.
