Patronymic

A patronym, or patronymic, is a component of a personal name based on the name of one's father, grandfather or an even earlier male ancestor. A component of a name based on the name of one's mother or a female ancestor is a matronymic. Each is a means of conveying lineage.In many areas patronyms...

. More than a thousand of such names have been preserved in local records and in local toponyms.

Many of these Germanic names were composite, dithematic names, were the second element or deuterotheme was usually a noun with the same gender of the bearer. Others were hypocoristics, either directly formed from a composite name, or derived from any of the themes usually found forming them. Less frequently a name was per se an appellative, a noun, either an adjective or a substantive.

was the son of a nobleman named Masila) later on full names were transmitted from grandfather to grandson (commemoration), following a trend common up till now in most of Western Europe.

Adaptations

Aside from the conversion of many Germanic endings into Romance or Latin standards, these names suffered other major phonetic adaptations, like the change on the stress of the word from the fist to the penultimate syllable, the conversion of most [þ] into [t] or [d], and the conversion of [h] into [k] before a consonant, getting lost in most other instances. [W] was initially preserved, although noted as [u], or [oy], before becoming [gw], or less usually [b]. Later on these early inherited names suffered most of the changes that took apart Western Romance languages, and namely Galician

, from Latin, such as consonant lenition, diverse palatalizations, and the conversion of the vocalic system. All of these phenomenons contributed to the existence of a very large number of variants for every recorded name: a single name such as Ostrofredus, was in fact recorded in Galicia as Ortofredus, Ostofredo, Ostouredus, Ostrofedone, Stobredo, and Strofredo.

Protothemes

Here is a list of many of the first themes which were used for the formation of Germanic personal names in Galicia and NW Iberia. Many of them are related to war, victory, fame, boldness, strength and war-like qualities (bald-, funs-, hild-, gund-, nand-, rod-, seg-, send-), totemic animals (ar-, wulf-, ber-, ebur-), and weapons (brand-, bruni-, rand-, saru-), while many others refer to knowledge, love, and other peaceful qualities (fred-, leob-, mun-, ragi-, rad-, uin-). Some notable ones refers to the condition of ruler or master (fro-, ric-, vald-, Froya, Theodinus, Tructinus, Hendinus). Another group refers to the own tribe, nation or country (conia-, fulc-, teod-, leod-, man-, truct-, gavi-, gogi-, kend-); while other appear to make an explicit reference to Huns (Hun-), Suevi (Sav-), Goths (Gut-), Vandals (Vandal-), Celts (Vala-), Vendians/Slavs (Venet-), Galindians/Balths (Galind-), Franks (Frank-), Saxons (Sax-), Angles (Engl-), Danes (Dan-), and other Germanic and non Germanic peoples.
Finally, while some elements are identical to others found in Celtic anthroponymy (And-, Dag-, -mar, -riks) some others appear to be adaptations of Latin words and names incorporated in the Danube regions: Florens, Fortis, Crescens...
