[Facts] Re: Ruthild

I found on several German name websites the info that the "Rut" in Ruthild comes from Old High German "hroth" / "hrod" (fame) like the first part of Rudolf, with the name Rodehild given as an older form. This sound plausible to me.

I'd be interested...

... in the German name websites. Mind sharing? :)

Thanks!

Checking again, I saw that all the "usual" German name websites do not carry Ruthild, but I found it here:

Thank you! I'd still like to know the "usual" German websites, if it's not too much hassle :)

Well, in this case I can recommend my link page at:
http://www.kunigunde.ch/verzeich.htm
It could use some updating but most of the websites should still be there.

Yes, it does indeed! Thanks, Rene. I think I was fooled by the t and the h right next to each other ... looks very like the English Ruth, and of course Rut is a good German alternative spelling for Ruth, so ...

Must say, Rodehild isn't nearly as pretty!

Allt he best
