More About The Name Wealhtheow

"Wealhtheow" is an Old English name primarily known from the medieval epic poem Beowulf. It is not a common modern name, so there are no famous people or common personality traits associated with it. As a character in Beowulf, Queen Wealhtheow is represented as a gracious, diligent, and politically astute woman.

The name itself is believed to be made up of two elements: "wealh", meaning "foreigner" or "Celt" and "theow", meaning "servant" or "slave". Thus, "Wealhtheow" can be interpreted as "foreign servant". This may suggest Swedish roots or possibly a lower status.
