Etymology
From *badwō + *hildiz, a Germanic dithematic female personal name of the common martial type. The second element is independently reflected as Old English -hild, Old High German -hilt, and Old Norse -hildr in female names (Johnsen 2005a: 82). Old English Beaduhild, Beadohild, Old High German Baduhilt, and Old Norse Bǫðvildr securely continue the compound. The West Germanic badu-/beadu- and Old Norse bǫð- forms regularly continue Proto-Germanic *badwō (de Vries 1977: 60, s.v. bǫð; Ringe & Taylor 2014: 41–42).
