This proud and, dare I say noble, male given name originates from the Old High German and Teutonic, meaning "Famous ruler". But it also means "The ruddy one" stemming from it's Celtic origins...

As a surname, it is first found (recorded) in Powys, North Wales, where they'd held family seat since well before the Norman Conquest of 1066 AD.
