Wikipedia

  1. Tancred

    Tancred or Tankred is a masculine given name of Germanic origin that comes from thank- (thought) and -rath (counsel), meaning "well-thought advice". It was used in the High Middle Ages mainly by the Normans (see French Tancrède) and especially associated with the Hauteville family in Italy. It is rare today as a first name, but still common as a Norman surname: Tanqueray, Tanquerey, Tanqueret. Its Italian form is Tancredi and in Latin it is Tancredus. Its Italian patronymic is also Tancredi.

  1. tancred

    Tancred is primarily known as a historical male given name of Germanic origin, popular among the Normans. It was borne by several medieval figures such as Tancred of Hauteville, a Norman lord; Tancred, Prince of Galilee, a leader during the First Crusade; and several kings of Sicily. Notably, it is also the title of a novel by British author Benjamin Disraeli. Therefore, it does not have a 'general definition,' but is more so a reference to either a historical figure or literary work.
