ERWIG.
Gothic. Latinized Ervigius.
Of Teutonic origin, meaning "army warrior," composed of Er- (A.S.
here, Gothic hari, O.N. her "army"), and
-wig (O.H.G. wig, modern German wich/wick, O.N. vig,
"war"). (The
Teutonic Name-System, Ferguson, 1864).
In Welsh, erwig means
"a small plot of land." (An English-Welsh Pronouncing
Dictionary, Spurrell, 1872).
... Before Erwig died in
687, he named as his successor Egica, a relation of Wamba and his own
son-in-law; and in November of that year Egica was duly elected king...
