Description   Ralph Dornfeld Owen (au); Friedrich Krebs (au) Records of the Port of Phila. during the 18th cent. are filled with entries listing emigrates called Palatines. This article explains the meaning of this term. A courtier in the imperial palace of the old German Empire (700-1800 A.D.) was designed as a “comis palatinus,” Latin for “companion of the palace.” The word “comis” is the parent of the French title of nobility “comte” & of the English title “count.” The German equivalent is the title “graf.” The Latin adjective “palatinus” is derived from the noun “palatium,” English “palace,” German “palast.” Charlemagne employed some of his counts to administer certain crown lands, & they came to be called “palatinata”, i.e., lands under the supervision of palace officials. The English term is “palatinate,” the German “Pfalz.” (Philadelphia: Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, 1960)
