Origin

edit

It is derived from the medieval Latin name Gundisalvus, which was the Latin form of a Germanic name of Visigoth origin.[2] The original Visigothic name was composed of the elements gund (meaning "war") and salv (meaning uncertain, but could be "saved", "preserved" or "unhurt").[2] It has also been claimed that, more specifically, it means "him who rescues/helps in battle".[1] It is related to the name Gonzalo[3]
