Anglo-Saxon Names for Girls

Spritely Summer meets strong classic Hilda in this Anglo-Scandinavian choice, joining together to make a name that feels as poetic as it does tough. 

Somerilda

A magical Anglo-Saxon choice, Mereswyth combines the Old English mere ("sea") with swiþ ("strong") to form a name that reflects the power of the ocean. It could make a cool choice for writers looking for something bold but with sweet nickname Meri. 
 
The name can also be spelled as Mereswith.

Mereswyth

A strong, historical name, Wulfrun combines the elements wulf ("wolf") and run ("rune, secret, lore") to give the slightly mystical meanings of "rune of the wolf" or "wolf's secret lore". It was notably borne by a 10th-century noblewoman, known for owning Hēatūn, a "principle farm" in the West Midlands, where she endowed a church. The region went on to become the city and borough of Wolverhampton in England, where many places are still named after her. 
 
Wulfruna is sometimes used as an alternative form, while Wolfram is (masculine) descendent of the name.
