[edit] Proposed merge

Arduina and Arduinna are clearly on the same subject but, as I don’t know which name is commoner, I am neutral as to where the merged article should be. —Ian Spackman (talk) 18:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I can find records of only two inscriptions, one spelled Arduinna at Rome, the other Ardbinna from somewhere called Gey in Germany. No single-n spellings. Q·L·1968 ☿ 20:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I merged them, it seems double "n" is the most common. Goldenrowley (talk) 08:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Variant spellings

The 'variant spellings' Arduina, Arduinnae, Arduinne do not deserve special mention. There are, as far as I'm away, no instances in which Arduinna is spelled with only one n. The other two are merely in the dative case – but English prefers the nominative for its citation forms. (Ardbinna could legitimately be considered a variant spelling.)
