Conclusion: Beginning at 32% the gnomish names Herrifen and Blaif Rinnar predate the Gnomish gods in linguistic development.
At 3% Dophdar is the last gnomish name.
Origin of the Gnomes
Herrifen comes with a -fen suffix suggesting a fen dwelling gnomish population. There is only one fen on the greyhawk map, the others being marshes, moors, and swamps. The Trollfens sit just below the Griff Mountains. Several generations later Foreman Fenrouse appears to be a significant gnomish leader's name amongst the trollfen dwelling gnomes. But Garl Glitterlode's generation sees migration to a Moor (found in the gnomish name Endoble Mistikmore).
Only the Rushmoors meets the requirements as a destination and potentially ties this mass migration to that of the Dwarves of Or migrating (before the rise of Orcus in the Dwarf homeland north of the Trollfens) to beyond the Lortmils, panning for gold in the Lort River. This relationship between garl glitterlode, the dwarves of the Lortmils, and the gnomes of the Rushmoors explains his rise as a god of gnomes and dwarves.
