A random thought related to how badly misunderstood we were historically
Our word for deity is divla or devel(and other variations) and in many European languages the word for evil spirit or Satan is devil, so whenever new cultures encountered us and asked about our ways or who our god/gods were, we would respond with "we worship devel" that must've immediately turned many europeans against us immediately.
Do you think this added to the stereotypes of us being evil and satanic or is this just insignificant details and im overthinking? I've not seen it pointed out anywhere so I thought it'd be worth sharing the thought.
