Summary/Abstract: The paper is a continuation of the article Ἀλέξανδρος und die vorgriechischen Namen auf -ανδρος published in the volume Thracia 15 dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Professor Alexander Fol. On the one hand, it disproves D. Dana’s untrue and unsubstantiated assertion that according to the author of the article, Ἀλέξανδρος is a Thracian name, and on the other hand, it discusses new research on the languages spoken in the Palaeo-Balkan space, as well as onomastic evidence that is either new or not used in the article, providing additional grounds for supporting the hypothesis expressed there.
