OK, Marcus. I agree that
this matter requires
skepticism, but it also
requires an open mind.<br>

Crazy Germanic people, but that was what they did. They always
created their names from two words, usually names of animals,
positive adjectives and words from the realm of war:

<br>
"Mechthild" is a female name and comes from "macht" (as in "mighty")
and "hild" (which above-linked article translates as "war" instead
of "warrior"). It's very common for Germanic female names.<br>
