Gunner

This name derives from Old High German “Gundheri,” composed of two elements: “*guntho / *gunþiz” (battle, fight, the act of killing, blow, to strike) and “*harjaz” (army, army leader, commander, warrior). In turn, the name means “warrior, fighter, soldier, and attacker,” but mostly is referred to by the Viking saying, which means “Brave and Bold warrior.” Gundahar is the German name of a semi-legendary king of Burgundy of the early 5th century. Legendary tales about him appear in Latin, medieval Middle High German, Old Norse, and Old English texts, especially concerning his relations with Siegfried (Sigurd in Old Norse) and his death by treachery in the hall of Attila the Hun.
