Neither, actually. I don't know why I call myself silva, but that's not my real name.
Lol thats a common surname here in Brazil. It means jungle in latin so the priests used to give this surname to converted natives.
Interesting. In English, "Silvan" mean a spirit that lives in the woods. It's often used in literature as a synonym for "elves."
Probably the same root
That's what I was thinking, but I noped out of a linguistics minor after a year when I realized it was never going to turn into "learning a bunch of languages" and was instead spending all your time doing sentance diagramming.
