Hi Francisc,

here is a list of Gepidic personal names:

Ardaric
Elemund
Fastida
Filegagus
Geismuth
Gunderith
Hasbad/Asbad
Kunimund
Maurikios (Greek name of a Gepid)
Mundo
Omhar
Ostrigoto (Gepidic wife of the langobard Wacho, also Austrigusa)
Ostrogota (son of Elemund)
Reptila (from Rapt)
Rosmund
Thiudamund (son of Maurikios)
Thorisind
Thorismund
Thrafstila
Thrasarik
Usdibad

Heinrich Sevin stated that the Gepidic dialect of Gothic died out in 
the 10th century at the latest in Lombardy and even earlier at the 
Rhine and the Rhone.

cheers
Dirk
