ArchivesBegga's meaning?
Begga (d. 649/693) was the grandmother of Charles Martel; her name is also apparently sometimes given as Begue. Wikipedia's article on her: http://snipurl.com/gpb1.
I haven't been able to uncover a meaning for Begga's unusual (and rather unfortunate, by today's standards) name, or even a possible etymological source. I was wondering if you guys could help?
