More Germanic names

Greta

A German and Scandinavian short form of Margareta (Margaret), itself derived through Latin and Greek from the Persian word "margārīt" meaning "pearl". Greta became a common independent given name in the German-speaking world and Scandinavia, disseminated through the tradition of Germanic pet-name formation. It gained international recognition through Swedish-American actress Greta Garbo.

Lulu

A Germanic pet-name, typically a diminutive of Louise or Luise, themselves the French and German feminine forms of Ludwig, from Old High German "Hlodwig" composed of "hlud" meaning "famous" and "wig" meaning "war" — thus "famous in war". Lulu became culturally significant in German literary tradition through Frank Wedekind's expressionist "Lulu" plays (Erdgeist, 1895; Die Büchse der Pandora, 1904), making it a name of fin-de-siècle erotic and tragic power.

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.

Mechthild

A Germanic feminine name composed of "maht" meaning "might" or "power" and "hild" meaning "battle" — thus "powerful in battle" or "mighty battle-woman". The name was borne by Mechthild of Magdeburg (c. 1207–1282), a German Beguine mystic whose visionary text "Das fließende Licht der Gottheit" (The Flowing Light of the Godhead) is one of the earliest major works in the German mystical tradition.

Wolfram

A Germanic masculine name composed of "wulf" meaning "wolf" and "hraban" or "raban" meaning "raven". Both the wolf and raven were sacred animals in Germanic and Norse mythology — wolves as companions of Odin, ravens (Huginn and Muninn) as his divine messengers. The name thus combines two of the most powerful symbols of the Germanic warrior-world and Odin's cult.

Arch

A short form of Archibald, from the Old High German elements erchan ("genuine, precious, authentic") and bald ("bold, brave"), meaning "truly bold" or "genuinely brave." Archibald was brought to Britain by the Normans and became particularly common in Scotland, where it was used as an anglicisation of the Gaelic Gilleasbuig. Arch is the brisk, informal nickname form.
