Baby names that mean warrior

Warrior names are the battle layer of the catalogue: names that mean warrior outright, names built on war, battle and the army, and compound names where a noble or famous element is welded to a war element, like Adelgund ("noble warrior"). Many are old Germanic and Norse compounds whose war half has softened with age — the sound survives long after the battlefield meaning fades.

Warrior meanings skew heavily boy in this catalogue, a habit of the old compound traditions. The girl entries in this family are genuinely old names, not modern coinages.
