Comment on I don't think so

  I’m assuming it’s the same root, yes. “Folklore” in German means the same thing, although we pronounce it differently. Don’t ask me why we don’t spell it “Volklore” - if I had to guess, I’d say the term is older than the spelling “Volk”, not least because “Lore” on its own doesn’t exist (anymore) in German.
