[13] Or perhaps of beauty, like a Celtic stem tac, found in names of men, and perhaps a corresponding word.
[14] As an ending also frid commonly becomes free, as in Humphrey from Humfrid, Godfrey from Godfred, Geoffry from Galfrid.
[15] This name might perhaps be from the Irish Cwaran, whence probably the present Curran. This name appears also to have been sometimes borrowed by the Northmen, as in the case of Olaf Cwaran.
[16] But not in a Christian sense, the stem being much older than Christian times. There is another stem gaud, supposed to mean Goth, very liable to intermix.
[17] As a prefix this may mean "army," but as an ending, where it is often hari or heri (and perhaps was originally always so), it may be taken, as suggested by Grimm, to mean warrior.
[18] Also as a contracted form, Ang.-Sax. Leommann (=Leofmann, Eng. Lemon).
[19] This seems to be a name of an exceptional kind, the ending drud being a female one. That our name Liptrot (which I take from Lower), is really from the above origin is rendered the more probable by the corresponding name Liebetrut as a present German name, similarly derived by Foerstemann. But it may well be that the ending in this case is from a different word to that which, see p. [19], forms the endings of women's names, viz. O.H.G. trut, amicus, which, as a prefix, enters into several men's names.
[20] From the mythological kettle of the gods, which enters into many Old Norse men's names.
[21] "The Anglo-Saxons seem to have used sallow in the sense of dark. The raven is called sallow both by Cædmon and the author of Judith," Skeat. It seems to me, however, a question whether, seeing how frequently the names of nationalities enter into Teutonic men's names, the word contained in the above stem may not be "Salian." This, however, still leaves open the question as to what is the origin of Salian.
[22] A corresponding name may be the Dutch Tadema, if ma, as is supposed, stands for man.
