Name Root:
*guntho / *gunþiz salvus / saiwala > Gundisalvus
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Medieval Latin and Germanic (Visigoth) “Gundisalvus,” composed of two elements: the Germanic element “*guntho / *gunþiz” (battle, fight, the act of killing, blow, to strike) plus the Latin word “salvus” (safe, well, unharmed, untouched, saved, healthy, intact). The second element, however, could also be attributed to the Germanic (Gothic) “saiwala,” meaning “soul, spirit.” The popular meaning is “one who assists in battle.” Saint Gonzalo (or Gundisalvus) (~1040–1108), a medieval Galician nobleman and clergyman, was the long-serving Bishop of Mondoñedo from 1071.
