Spelling?

edit

It is interesting that all the articles I've read about these martyrs spell the name "Nunilo", but the carving in this article clearly reads "Nonyla" I would have expected the "-a" as a feminine name. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 16:44, 22 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

It's not uncommon for a male's name to end in "-a", like Agila I (Visigoth), Totila (Ostrogoth) or Attila (Hun), though I don't know why "Nonyla" end up being known as "Nunilo". José Luiz talk 17:22, 22 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
