Submitted Name Revision 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.
