GWRTHIGERN. Welsh
name which Yonge renders "excelling king." Other critics
make it "Vir Regalis,
man prince," from Welsh gwr = "man" + theyrn
(Tigernos)
= "a prince." (Irish Version of the Historia Britonum of
Nennius, Todd-Herbert,
1848). The Latinized form is Vortigern;
the Irish Gortigern; Old
English Wyrtgeorn.
Gwrthigern, excelling king, is
a Silurian prince of doubtful fame. Through Latinism we know him
as Vortigern... (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
