(_Bald_, fortis), A.S. Higbald (Bishop of Lindisfarne), Hibald--O.G. Hugibald, Hubald--Eng. _Hibble, Hubble_--Fr. _Hubault_--Ital. _Ubaldo_, _Ubald_(_ini_). (_Bert_, famous), A.S. Higbert (Bishop of Worcester)--O.G. Hugubert, Hubert--Eng. _Hibbert, Hubbard_--Germ. _Hubert_--Fr. _Hubert_. (_Hard_, fortis), O.G. Hugihart, Hugard--Eng. _Huggard, Heward_--Fr. _Hugard, Huard, Huart_. (_Laic_, play), A.S. Hygelac--O.G. Hugilaih--O.N. Hugleikr--Eng. _Hillock, Hullock_--Fr. _Hulek_. (_Lat_, terrible,?), Hugolot, _Lib. Vit._--Eng. _Hewlet, Higlet_. (_Lind_, mild), O.G. Hugilind--Eng. _Hewland_. (_Man_, vir), A.S. Hiccemann--Eng. _Hugman, Hughman, Human, Higman, Hickman_--Germ. _Hieckmann_--Fr. _Humann_. (_Mot_, courage), O.G. Hugimot--Eng. _Hickmot_. (_Mar_, famous), A.S. Hykemer--O.G. Hugimar--Eng. _Hogmire, Homer, Highmore_. (_Wald_, power), O.G. Hugold--Fr. _Huault_. Perhaps also, from _noth_, bold, though I do not find an ancient name to correspond--Eng. _Hignett_, and Fr. _Hugnot, Hognet_. I will take for the last example the stem _magin, main_; A.S. _mægin_, strength, force; Eng. _main_, which is rather better represented in French names than in English. There are names, Maianus and Meinus on Roman pottery, which might, however, be either German or Celtic. O.G. Magan, Main--Main, _Lib. Vit._--Eng. _Magnay, Mayne_--Germ. _Mehne_--Fr. _Magné, Magney_--Ital. _Magini_. _Compounds._ (Bald, fortis), O.G. Meginbold--Fr. _Magnabal_. (_Burg_, protection), O.G. Meginburg--Fr. _Mainbourg_. (_Frid_, peace), O.G. Maginfrid--Fr. _Mainfroy_. (_Gald_, value), O.G. Megingald--Fr. _Maingault_. (_Ger_, spear), O.G. Meginger--Eng. _Manger_. (_Gaud_, Goth), O.G. Megingaud Fr. _Maingot_. (_Had_, war), O.G. Magenad--Fr. _Maginot_--(_Hard_, fortis), O.G. Maginhard, Mainard--Eng. _Maynard_--Germ. _Meinert_--Fr. _Magnard, Maynard_--Ital. _Mainardi_--(_Hari_, warrior), O.G. Maganhar, Mayner--Germ. _Meiner_--Fr. _Magnier, Maynier_--Ital. _Maineri_. Perhaps also to this stem (with _nant_, daring) we may put Magnentius, the name of a German who usurped the imperial purple and was slain A.D. 353, also the Fr. _Magnan_ and _Maignan_. These three stems, in one of which the Anglo-Saxon predominates, and in another the Frankish or High German, while in a third there are two parallel forms, Anglo-Saxon and Frankish, running side by side, may be taken as fairly representative of the system upon which Teutonic names are formed. FOOTNOTES: [47] This name may be, not improbably, one of those that were brought over after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. [48] We also find the other form, Hlud, in Hludes beorh, Hlud's barrow, or grave. [49] Some further remarks on this Frankish prefix will be found in the succeeding chapter on Italian names.
