1931 · The Prehistoric Minnesota Woman
The Minnesota Woman was the name given to the skeletal remains of a woman thought to be 8,000 years old found near Pelican Rapids. The bones were brought to the University of Minnesota for more study. Later, Dr. Albert Jenks identified them as the bones of a 15 or 16 year old woman. Scientists now recognize the girl as someone whose ancestors were Paleo-Indian and now her skeletal remains have been reburied in South Dakota, not available for further study.
1951 · The Twenty-Second Amendment
Before the Twenty-second Amendment, the Presidency didn’t have a set number limit on how many times they could be elected or re-elected to the office of President of the United States. The Amendment sets that limit to two times, consecutively or not, and sets additional conditions for presidents who succeed to the unexpired terms of their predecessors.
Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: German Otto, Erwin, Kurt, Gerhard, Hans, Frieda, Hannelore, Heinz, Helmut, Horst, Aloys, Baerbel.
German: from a personal name, in which two originally distinct names have fallen together: from a pet form of the personal name Lorenz , and the ancient Germanic personal name Lanzo, which was originally a short form of any of several compound names with land ‘land’ as the first element, e.g. Lambrecht (see Lambert ). This surname is also found in France (Alsace and Lorraine), Poland, and Czechia. Compare Lentz .
German: in some cases, a nickname from Middle High German lenze ‘spring’ from lang ‘long’, since in this season the days grow longer. The name may also have been bestowed on someone who was born in the spring or who owed rent or service at that time of year, or it may have denoted someone who was of a sunny and spring-like disposition.
