Gonzalo (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gonzalo (also Consalvo, latizined Gundisalvus) is a Spanish masculine given name.

The name is given for Galician Saint Gonzalo (d. c. 1108/12), bishop of Mondoñedo from 1071. It derives from a Gothic name with the first element gunþi- ("battle"). The second element is uncertain, the latinization Gundisalvus may be based on a folk etymological interpretation based on Latin salvus. Suggestions include gunþi-saiwala- (as it were "battle-soul") and gunþis-albs ("battle-elf").
