Girls’ names from the early Frankish tradition often reveal a dignified, courtly resonance. Monikers like Radegund or Bertha incorporate Germanic elements underscored by Christian devotion that spread under Frankish rule. Although these names may seem archaic, they once symbolized royal alliances and spiritual dedication.
