More Germanic names

Edeltraud

A Germanic feminine name composed of "adal" or "edel" meaning "noble" and "þruð" or "traut" meaning "strength" or "beloved" — thus "noble strength" or "noble and dear". The name was popular in the German-speaking world in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Catholic Austria, Bavaria, and the Rhineland, where it was associated with aristocratic feminine virtue.

Conrad

An anglicised form of the Germanic name Konrad, composed of "kuoni" meaning "bold" or "brave" and "rad" meaning "counsel" — thus "bold counsel" or "brave advisor". The name was borne by multiple Holy Roman Emperors and is deeply embedded in the medieval German aristocratic and ecclesiastical tradition. The Anglophone form Conrad spread through Normandy into England after the Conquest.

Erna

A Germanic and Scandinavian feminine name, a short form of names beginning with the Old High German element "arn" meaning "eagle" — such as Ernesta or Ernaline — or alternatively a feminine form of Ernst (from "earnest, serious"). The name was especially common in Germany and Scandinavia in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

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.

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.

A Germanic masculine name composed of "hari" or "heri" meaning "army" and "mann" meaning "man" — thus "army man" or "warrior". The name was borne by Arminius (the Latinised form of Hermann), the Germanic chieftain who defeated three Roman legions in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD, a victory that became foundational to German national mythology.
