Help[Facts] Re: "Witta", "Fele" (Old English/ Norse) and "Gondree" (Frankish)
in reply to a message by "Bagpus"
In regards to the Frankish names question, this may be helpful:
http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/french.shtml
Gondree may be from the Frankish word 'gund' meaning "combat" and 'ric' meaning "powerful" although I just don't know to be honest.
Witta - hmm, it may be from the Anglo-Saxon 'witta' meaning "witness" or the Old English 'wit(t)' meaning "wit".
Fele - this seems to mean "many, a multitude from the Old English 'fela, fele' but I can't be certain.
Hope this helps :)
