About Germanic names
Germanic names were built like small shields — two strong word-elements joined together, usually drawn from battle, protection, glory, or rule. That ancient formula gave English many of its most durable classics: William, Henry, Emma, Matilda. Even when the original meanings have faded, the names keep their solid, grounded feel — consonant-forward, confident, and hard to wear out.
Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
