More Old German names
Derek
“An English form of Theodoric, from the Old High German Þeudarīks, a compound of þeud ("people," "folk") and rīks ("king" or "ruler"), meaning "ruler of the people." Theodoric was the name of the great Ostrogothic king who ruled Italy from 493 to 526 AD. The name reached England via Flanders in the medieval period as Dirk or Derrick, with Derek becoming the established English form. It was widely popular in the mid-20th century in Britain.”
Hendrik
“The Dutch and Low German form of Henry, from the Old High German Heimrich, a compound of heim ("home") and rīchi ("power" or "ruler"), meaning "ruler of the home" or "home ruler." Henry/Heinrich was one of the most widely used names among Germanic royalty throughout the medieval period. Hendrik is the distinctively Dutch spelling, common in the Netherlands and South Africa (where it was carried by Dutch settlers).”
Karlie
“A modern variant of Carlie or Carly, itself a diminutive of Carla or Carol, both feminine forms of Charles. Charles derives from the Old High German Karl, meaning "free man" or "man." The spelling with K reflects a Scandinavian influence (Karl) and became fashionable in the United States in the late 20th century as a more distinctive alternative to Carly.”
Velma
“An American coinage of the late 19th century, generally understood as a variant of Wilma or Wilhelmina, from the Old High German Wilhelm — a compound of wil, "will" or "desire," and helm, "helmet" or "protection," thus "resolute protector." The name peaked in the early 20th century in the United States and carries a distinctly vintage Americana feel.”
Gary
“Generally considered a short form of Gareth or Gerald, both ultimately from Old German names: Gareth from the Welsh adaptation of a Germanic name, and Gerald from ger ("spear") and wald ("rule"), meaning "spear ruler." Gary came into its own as an independent American name in the early 20th century, popularised partly by the city of Gary, Indiana, and further boosted by film star Gary Cooper.”
Charlie
“A diminutive of Charles, from the Old High German Karl, meaning "free man" or simply "man." Charles was a name of enormous prestige through Charlemagne (Carolus Magnus, "Charles the Great"), whose name became synonymous with kingship across medieval Europe. Charlie emerged as a warm, familiar English short form and has grown into a popular gender-neutral name in its own right across the English-speaking world.”
