BRENHILDA.
Spanish-Gothic form of Old High German Brunihilt
(q.v.), meaning "breast-plated battle maid."
... No doubt Brynhild was
commemorated by the name of the Gothic princess, daughter of King Athanagild,
who, for her misfortune, was married to the Frank Sigebert, and through
the whole of her life continued a fierce and dauntless resistance to her
savage rival Fredegund, until, when both were aged women, Brenhilda fell
into her rival's power, and was implacably sentenced to be dragged to
death by wild horses. (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
