More Old German names
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.”
Frans
“The Dutch and Scandinavian form of Francis, from the Medieval Latin Franciscus, meaning "Frankish" or "from France" — ultimately from the Germanic Franks, the tribe whose name may derive from Old German frank, meaning "free" or from a word for their distinctive throwing axe (the francisca). The name was popularised by Saint Francis of Assisi, the 13th-century friar and founder of the Franciscan order, and spread throughout Europe. Frans is the specifically Dutch/Scandinavian variant.”
Emory
“An English variant of Emery, from the Old High German Amalric, a compound of amal (a reference to the powerful Amal dynasty of the Visigoths, possibly meaning "vigour" or "work") and ric, "power" or "rule." The name was introduced to England by the Normans. Emory is the primarily American spelling, and the name is associated with Emory University in Atlanta, founded in 1836, giving it an additional register of Southern academic prestige.”
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.”
Otis
“An English surname-turned-given-name, derived from the medieval given name Ode or Oto, itself from the Old High German Odo or Otto, meaning "wealth" or "fortune." The name was brought to England by Normans after 1066. In America it gained traction as a given name in the 19th century, partly boosted by the fame of inventor Elisha Otis, who revolutionised vertical transport with the safety elevator.”
