Etymology
From *audaz + *wakraz. The second element is independently attested in the Runic personal name *wakraR and in Old Norse vakr, Old English wacor, and Old High German wahhar (de Vries 1977: 639–640, s.v. vakr; Heidermanns 1993: 645). An alternative interpretation connects the second element with Sanskrit वज्र (vájra) and interprets the name as approximately ‘rich in weapons’ (Mallory & Adams 1997: 112), but this is uncertain; the usual derivation of *wakraz from PIE *weǵ- is better supported (Rix et al. 2001: 660–661).
