Waltheri

Waltheri is a Germanic masculine name built from two Old High German elements: wald, meaning rule or power, and heri, meaning army. It represents a medieval Latinized or inflected form of names in the Walter family, used in ecclesiastical and scholarly documents across early medieval Europe. The base form Walter spread widely through Norman French influence following the conquest of England, and equivalent forms appear across European languages, including Gautier in French, Gualtiero in Italian, and Valter in Scandinavian and Slavic traditions.
