Godfrey
Latin · “From the Old French Godefroy, from the Old High German Godafrid composed of god meaning "god" and frid meaning "peace" — thus "God's peace". The name was introduced to England by the Normans and became common in medieval English-speaking lands. Geoffrey and Jeffrey are related forms that developed along different phonetic paths.”
Wilfred
Old English · “From the Old English Wilfrith composed of wil meaning "will, desire" and frith meaning "peace" — thus "desirous of peace" or "one who wills peace". The name was borne by Saint Wilfrid of York (634–709), the influential Northumbrian bishop who played a decisive role in the Synod of Whitby aligning the English church with Roman rather than Celtic practice.”
More Germanic names
Delbert
“A Germanic-derived masculine name, a variant of Adalbert or Delbert, composed of the elements "adal" meaning "noble" and "beraht" meaning "bright" or "famous" — thus "noble and bright". The form Delbert developed primarily in English-speaking contexts as a variant of the Old High German Adalbert/Ethelbert, carried to the English-speaking world via Norman influence.”
Eloisa
“The Italian and Spanish form of Eloise, from the Old French Héloïse, which derives from the Germanic Helewidis, composed of heil ("healthy, whole") and wit ("wide"). The name is forever associated with Héloïse d'Argenteuil (1101–1164), the medieval French scholar and nun whose passionate correspondence with philosopher Peter Abelard became one of the great epistolary love stories of Western history.”
Carlie
“A feminine diminutive form of Carl, the English form of the Germanic Karl, derived from the Old Germanic karlaz meaning "free man." Carl and its variants (Karl, Carlos, Charles) all share this root, which denoted a common man — as opposed to a noble — and later came to carry a sense of honest independence. Carlie is a modern, informal English feminine form.”
Arno
“A Germanic masculine name, either a short form of Arnold (from "arn" meaning "eagle" and "wald" meaning "rule" or "power") or of names beginning with the Old High German element "arn" (eagle). The eagle was a central symbol of power in Germanic tradition — carried forward into Roman imperial iconography and the heraldry of the Holy Roman Empire.”
Adele
“A Germanic feminine name derived from the Proto-Germanic element "adal" meaning "noble" or "of noble kind". It is a short form of longer compound names such as Adelheid (Adelaide) and Adelheidis. The element "adal" is one of the most productive roots in Germanic name-forming tradition, shared with names like Adolf, Adalbert, and Adelinde.”
Fred
“A short form of Frederick, from the Old Germanic Frideric, composed of frid ("peace") and ric ("ruler, king"), meaning "peaceful ruler." Fred retains the warmth and approachability of the nickname while stripping away the formality of the full name. It has been used as an independent given name since the 19th century.”
