Help[Opinions] Re: Griselda
in reply to a message by Bear
Where'd you get that meaning? The BtN entry implies it might be a medieval literary invention. That'd make it more intelligible.
I personally don't see the attraction of it. It's gruff and growly sounding to me. Zelda or Zelly is alright though.

Any time I look Griselda up in a baby name book "gray haired battle maiden" of something similar appears. I know all baby name books are not created equal. But some are pretty good. BtN is the most scholarly source I've found and even here in the database the elements are "grey" and "battle." So I think I'm on safe ground. And even if it were purely a literary invention, the root words would still be the same.
Glad you like Zelda and Zelly. :-) Thanks for the input.
