Etymology

1. From Proto-West Germanic *gunþi, from Proto-Germanic *gunþiz, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰéntis (“killing, blow”). Shifted into the ō-stems at some point before i-umlaut; the inherited form *gȳþ occurs as the final element of names.
2. Germanic cognates include Old Norse gunnr ~ guðr. Old Saxon gūđ- and Old High German gund- appear in compounds. See: Old Norse Nouns 'gunnr'.
