Frisian name not listed: Siebren
I was looking on the web-site at the frisian names, and didn't see Siebren or Siebrend listed. This is my given name (after my grandfather), but it was changed to Sidney after my parents decided to become more "Americanized".

It means 'victorious sword': Sigi-, Sî- 'victory' plus -brand 'sword'.
Sibrand is the basic form.
