So, plausible that it’s just a common name? Especially among the elite perhaps? (It’s confusing that Frederick I was the son of Frederic II, btw…)

Similarly, for the past several hundred years, nearly all the English/British kings have been called William, Edward, or George.

As Kings, that is. George VI was named Albert until his accession.
