Hair colour of Huguenots
editIn South Africa Huguenot origin is linked to darker colouring than is found in the generality of Afrikaners of Dutch or North German origin. The bulk of Huguenots came from southern and western France, areas noted for darker hair than in the east or northeast of France. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.248.243 (talk) 14:51, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

What is their specific ethnicity though? Are they ethnic Germanic people or ethnic celtic people or some other ethnic group? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.79.188.153 (talk) 00:34, 16 May 2020 (UTC) As mentioned above, they were ethically close to their Catholic neighbors. The segregation time in situ seems too short to enable a visible genetic difference. The ethnic mix varies in the various regions. Some genetics companies are able to identify specific migrant groups, like the Anabaptists / Mennonites / Amish, but I haven't seen such Huguenot groups so far. --Japarthur (talk) 08:06, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
Jan Hus
editConcerning the origin of the word: one of the possible origins given is the Flemish word "Huisgenoten". What I was taught in History class was that it came from Jan Hus, so the word would have been "Hus-genoten", which would translate somewhere between "Hus fellows" and "Hus allies". If anyone else has heard this explanation it could be added to the article. Piet 12:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
