Meaning & History
Possibly a Germanic name in which the second element is rad meaning "counsel, advice". This was the name of the mother of Saint Gregory of Utrecht, a widow and model Christian matron of the 8th century who became a Catholic saint. In her later years she joined a religious community in Susteren, although it is uncertain whether she actually became a nun.
