Etymology

Of disputed origin, traditionally said to be from eiguenot, from Dutch eedgenot, from Alemannic German Eidgenoss, from German Eid (“oath”) + Genoss (“associate”) (from Proto-Germanic *ganautaz (“comrade”)), but this may be an example of folk etymology. An alternate theory is based upon Huguenot itself being a normal French diminutive of the name Hugues, the Old French and Savoyard variant of the given name Hugh; the theory states that the term was originally used by Savoyard Roman Catholic supporters of the ruling Savoy dynasty as a derogatory pun (later embraced by Geneva republicans and by French Calvinists), with a meaning similar to "little Hughey", on the surname of Geneva burgomaster Besançon Hugues, who (though a Catholic himself) supported and participated in the rebellion against the rule of the Savoy dynasty, which led to the independence of Geneva in 1526. More at huguenot.
