What is the definition of the noun "Fahrenheit" (or the etymology of the name)? In Wiktionary it says "the surname literally means "experience", but I don't find any evidence of this in the Wahrig or Duden (online) dictionaries.

2@HubertSchölnast The linked question does not ask explicitly for the etymology of the name, and in fact, the answers given there don't say anything about the current question beyond speculation.– UweJan 29, 2017 at 15:26

@PerlDuck, the OP obviously knows that it is a name and asks for its meaning or origin.– Carsten SJan 29, 2017 at 16:06

@PerlDuck, I looked at the edit history before replying.– Carsten SJan 29, 2017 at 16:47

1Not an answer, but the first comment in the other question: "Erfahrenheit" is an old German word for "Erfahrung" (experience) that is not used any more. It is not related to Fahrenheit. – Takkat♦ Dec 15 '11 at 7:27– IrisJan 29, 2017 at 17:32
