ᚲᚢᚾᛁᛗᚢᛞᛁᚢ

Proto-Norse

Etymology

Dative of a name *ᚲᚢᚾᛁᛗᚢᛞᚢᛉ (*kunimuduʀ /⁠*kunimunduz⁠/). The u-stem dative singular -ᛁᚢ (-iu) comes from Proto-Germanic *-iwi, with a loss of the final *-i. The name itself is from a Proto-Germanic *Kunjamunduz, a compound of *kunją (“family, kin”) and *mundō (“protection”). Cognate with Latin Cunimundus, Old High German Chunimunt, Old English Cynemund. For another example of /nd/ being spelled with just d, see ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᚨᚲᚢᛞᛟ (raginakudo /⁠raginakundō⁠/).
