Derived from the Germanic elements kuon "bold" and rad "counsel". This was the name of a 10th-century saint and bishop from Switzerland and it was also borne by several kings of Germany. In England it was used (rarely) during the Middle Ages, but it has been common only since the 19th century when it was reintroduced from Germany. |
