英语词汇kris kringle的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	kris kringle
词源	Kris Kringle. After nearly a century and a half this synonym for Santa Claus is still heard, even though the words have nothing at all to do with Santa. The term originated in America in about 1830 and was spelled Krisskring’l before taking its present form. Krisskring’l stemmed from a misunderstanding of the word Christ- kindlein used by German immigrants, its meaning not “Santa Claus” but “the Child in the Manger,” or “the little Christ child.”
