Grimm's law, K->H). The name has been analysed as the name kimme meaning "rim", i.e. the people of the coast[1], but there is also the hypothesis that the name is related to that of the Cimmerians.

Ancient Roman enemies and allies: Encyclopedia II - Clovis I - The baptism of Clovis

The conversion of Clovis to Roman Catholic Christianity, the religion of the majority of his subjects, strengthened the bonds between his Roman subjects and their Germanic conquerors. However, Bernard Bachrach has argued that this conversion from his Frankish pagan beliefs alienated many of the other Frankish sub-kings, and weakened his military position over the next few years. (Interestingly, the monk Gregory of Tours wrote that the pagan beliefs which Clovis abandoned were in Roman gods such as Jupiter and Mercury, rather than thei ...
