Tancrède (disambiguation)

Tancred is a male first name.

Tancred (German Form: Dankrad ) is of Germanic origin. It is made up of " danc " = thinking, the thought that you and " rad" = the Council, the advice, the counselor.

The name Tancred was used in this Nordic form of the Normans, who were mostly Norwegian and Danish origin. In particular, since settled in the 9th century Danish Normans permanently in Normandy, it was there in the sequence to Frenchification of Tancred to Tancrède. In Italy, a little later this Norman name Tancredi, when the Normans settled in Normandy in the 11th century in southern Italy and Sicily, also founded kingdoms and ruled it until the 13th century.

The French name Tanqueray (also: Tanquerey, Tanqueret ), who comes from Normandy, could be derived from Tancrède.
