Leohtwine

Discussion of the name

Leohtwine is an otherwise unrecorded Old English masculine name comprising the elements lēoht ‘light’ and wine ‘friend, protector, lord’, although a twelfth-century form Lictwine is on record and the formation is clearly Old English, while the rare first element occurs in other Germanic names (von Feilitzen 1937: 319; cf. Förstemann 1900: 1051, 1056-7; Morlet 1968: 158).
