  Well, you could look into the relevant books to find these reconstructions
and the etymology of these names, f.i.:

 

Ernst Wilhelm Förstemann, Altdeutsches Namenbuch, 2 vols. (Bonn 1900).
(Supplementary volume to vol.1, Personenennamen by Henning Kaufmann,
München, Hildesheim 1968)

 Moritz Schönfeld, Wörterbuch der altgermanischen Personen- und Völkernamen
(Heidelberg 1911)

 

 

 

Best wishes,

                 Andreas Schwarcz

 

Hails!

I imagine someone here has taken the trouble to reconstruct the known Gothic
names. I would be very interested in this. For example, Theoderic is
actually Thiudareiks, meaning Ruler of the People. I suppose it won't always
be possible to ascertain the originals and their meanings, but it always
productive to give it thought. I am tired of seeing the names in Latin,
English or Spanish.
