More About The Name Walpurgis

Walpurgis is a name of Old English origin. It is derived from the word "wealdburg," which is composed of the elements "weald," meaning "power" and "burg," meaning "fortress." Saint Walpurga was the daughter of the Saxon prince St. Richard and she became a nun, making her name popular in the Christian world.

St. Walpurga (also known as Walpurgis, Walburga, Walburgh, or Gauburge) was an English missionary to the Frankish Empire who is revered as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. She is also widely celebrated in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Walpurga was canonized in the eighth century, and 1st May is observed as her feast day, dubbed Walpurgis Night.
