Thane
thane
- O.E. рegn "military follower," from P.Gmc. *thegnas. Also used in O.E. for "disciple of Christ." Specific sense of "man who ranks between an earl and a freeman" is c.1470. The modern spelling is from Scottish, where in late M.E. it came to mean "chief of a clan, king's baron," and probably predominated in Eng. due to influence of "Macbeth"; normal orthographic changes from O.E. рegn would have produced Mod.Eng. *thain. Some historians now use thegn to distinguish Anglo-Saxon thanes from Scottish thanes.
