More Old High German names
Albrecht
“The German form of Albert, composed of the Germanic elements "adal" meaning "noble" and "beraht" or "berht" meaning "bright" or "shining" — thus "nobly bright" or "shining with nobility". The name was borne by several Habsburg emperors (Albert I, II, and III), by Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), the greatest of all German Renaissance artists, and by numerous princes of the German states.”
Walburga
“Walburga is an Old High German feminine name composed of "waltan" meaning "to rule, to have power" and "burg" meaning "fortress, stronghold". It thus means "powerful fortress" or "ruling strength". Saint Walburga (c. 710–779) was an Anglo-Saxon missionary nun who became the abbess of Heidenheim in Bavaria; she is venerated widely in Germany, and Walpurgis Night (April 30) is named in her honour.”
Hildegard
“A Germanic feminine name composed of "hild" meaning "battle" and "gard" meaning "enclosure", "stronghold", or "protection" — thus "battle-stronghold" or "protected in battle". Hildegard of Bingen (1098–1179) was a Benedictine abbess, visionary mystic, composer, natural philosopher, and medical writer — one of the most remarkable intellectual figures of the Middle Ages and now a Doctor of the Catholic Church.”
Walther
“A Germanic masculine name composed of "wald" meaning "rule" or "power" and "heri" meaning "army" or "warrior" — thus "ruler of the army" or "powerful warrior". The name was widespread across the medieval German-speaking world and was borne by Walther von der Vogelweide (c.1170–c.1230), the greatest of the Middle High German minnesingers, whose lyric poetry defined the courtly love tradition in the German language.”
Siegfried
“A Germanic masculine name composed of "sieg" meaning "victory" and "frid" meaning "peace" — thus "victorious peace" or "peace through victory". Siegfried is the central hero of Germanic legend, the dragon-slayer who bathes in dragon's blood to become invulnerable (except for a leaf-shaped spot on his back), and whose tragic murder drives the Nibelungenlied. Richard Wagner used the name for his operatic hero in the Ring Cycle.”
Otfried
“A Germanic masculine name composed of "od" or "aud" meaning "wealth", "fortune", or "prosperity" and "frid" meaning "peace" — thus "peaceful wealth" or "prosperous peace". The name is historically significant as the name of Otfrid of Weissenburg (c.800–c.875), the Frankish monk who composed the Evangelienbuch, the earliest surviving major literary work in the Old High German language — making the name associated with the very origins of German literature.”
