(Wald, power), O.G. Hugold—Fr. Huault. Perhaps also, from noth, bold, though I do not find an ancient name to correspond—Eng. Hignett, and Fr. Hugnot, Hognet.
I will take for the last example the stem magin, main; A.S. mægin, strength, force; Eng. main, which is rather better represented in French names than in English. There are names, Maianus and Meinus on Roman pottery, which might, however, be either German or Celtic.

(Bald, fortis), O.G. Meginbold—Fr. Magnabal. (Burg, protection), O.G. Meginburg—Fr. Mainbourg. (Frid, peace), O.G. Maginfrid—Fr. Mainfroy. (Gald, value), O.G. Megingald—Fr. Maingault.

Magnard, Maynard—Ital. Mainardi—(Hari, warrior), O.G. Maganhar, Mayner—Germ. Meiner—Fr. Magnier, Maynier—Ital. Maineri.
Perhaps also to this stem (with nant, daring) we may put Magnentius, the name of a German who usurped the imperial purple and was slain A.D. 353, also the Fr. Magnan and Maignan.
These three stems, in one of which the Anglo-Saxon predominates, and in another the Frankish or High German, while in a third there are two parallel forms, Anglo-Saxon and Frankish, running side by side, may be taken as fairly representative of the system upon which Teutonic names are formed.
