Cf. →heorot-berie; the identification is based on the ModE (buckthorn, hart's thorn; cf. Britten / Holland 1886,605) and G (Hirschdorn; Pritzel / Jessen 1882,329) plant names; Pollington (2000,127) additionally suggests Crataegus oxyacantha L, hawthorn, Weißdorn.
Etymology: Because of the parallel formation of both German and English names Loewe (1916,51) suggests that the name 'hart's thorn, Hirschdorn(strauch)' (also cf. →brembel) has its origins on the European continent. It is a loan transformation of L SPINA CERVALIS (= R. cathartica).
