About Germanic names

Germanic names predate the split between modern German, Dutch, Scandinavian, and English. They are usually compounds of two meaningful elements.

Common roots: bert (bright), helm (helmet/protection), wulf (wolf), gar (spear), frid (peace). Many are still in use as Albert, Robert, William, Wilhelm.
