Gundaker

Gundaker is a male name.

Origin and meaning

The name comes from Germanic / Old High German and is made up of the parts gund ' Kampf ' and a not very clear second syllable. The latter can also be found in Odoaker / Ottokar zu ot (“possession”, “wealth”), where early spellings in -akar, -acher, -achre can be found. Both names seem to be native to the south-east of the language area.
