So, for school I'm reading excerpts from Beowulf, and I was doing a little bit of research on the name Grendel (because I'm a name nerd. Not because it was required) and I came first here ('cause it's my go to) and found no definition. So I did a little more research and found that it means "legend name" (confirmed by at least three sites: sheknows.com, whatisthemeaningofname.com, and ourbabynamer.com).

I thought that "legend name" was an interesting name meaning, and was wondering if anyone had any specific thoughts on it?
