[Facts] Re: Any information about Guigonne?
in reply to a message by Inspector Javert
After googling quite a while and checking pages like the following:
http://www.geneanet.org/genealogie/fr/guigue.html
I would say that this a name of Germanic origin, from the name element "wig" meaning "fight, battle" or at least with this as the first element, then with a second element that I was not able to find out.
Ludwig is an example for a well-known German name with this "wig" as the second element.

Okay, thanks!
Wouldn't |-onne| be a diminutive+feminine suffix (as it is with YVONNE)?
