Meaning & History
The first element comes from vinga, which is probably derived from viga "battle" or Old High German wîg "warrior" - but this is not certain. If vinga isn't derived from either of those two, then its meaning is lost. The second element comes from rîcja "powerful, strong, mighty." The second element is also closely related to Celtic rîg or rix and Gothic reiks, which all mean "king, ruler." Winguric was a 4th-century underking of the Thervingi, a Germanic tribe.
