A forename <Galindo> is found by the early 9th century, and
the Latinized <Galindus> is found from the 7th century.
There's even a feminine <Galinda> from the 10th century.
The origin of the name is uncertain. It's been suggested
that there's a connection with the region Galinden in East
Prussia. Some on the name of that region can be found at
