Siegfried[edit]

It is sad that so often on these "academic" websites, that I see the kids have no education at all and knowledge is suppressed. For those interested in seeking information on these important subjects, I present to following.

For one, while "guard" is sound, it is not definitive. The "urd" also means "fate, destiny".

Secondly, while "peace" is also sound for the second element in Siegfried, it is also likely not correct. Sigurd and Siegfried are connected as thus. Urd, Wurd, Verd, Ferd, Fried. It happen frequently in pan-Germanic concepts. Especially names. Just like the spelling variations in Reinhold, Raginballdr, Reginald, and Ronald. -Alpharts Tod 79.106.209.137 09:04, 29 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
