More Germanic names

Wilfried

A Germanic masculine name composed of "wil" meaning "will" or "desire" and "frid" meaning "peace" — thus "desiring peace" or "peaceful will". The name is closely related to Wilfrid/Wilfred and was common in the medieval German-speaking world. The most famous bearer is Saint Wilfrid of York (634–709/710), the Anglo-Saxon bishop whose career bridged the Germanic and Roman ecclesiastical traditions.

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.

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.

Horst

A Germanic masculine name derived from the Middle High German "horst" meaning "thicket", "wooded hill", or "eyrie" (a bird of prey's nest on a high crag). The name carries associations with the untamed Germanic forest landscape that was central to ancient Germanic identity. It became a common given name in the German-speaking world in the 19th century.

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.

Genoveva

The Spanish and Portuguese form of Genevieve, from the Old French Genovefa, which may derive from the Germanic elements kuni meaning "kin, race" and wefa meaning "woman", or alternatively from a Gaulish root related to the Celtic genos meaning "race" and vefa meaning "woman". Saint Geneviève of Paris, patron saint of the city, made the name a symbol of courageous piety.
