true, a name like Dalgangr would be an epithet rather than a "name", like Longshanks, Bluetooth etc. As far as Germanic and even Celtic personal "names" I don't know any elements that mean valley. Several that mean hill, island or mountain, but not valley. They really went for fortifiable or holy places, and that was always up on the hills, not in the valleys. There are some that might be construed as "river" though, but that probably wasn't the intent.
