Saint Radegund (518-587) was the Thuringian princess and Frankish queen who, after the brutal King Clotaire I had her brother killed, fled the court to found the monastery of Sainte-Croix in Poitiers — among the first major women's monasteries in the West.
Patron saint of Jesus College, Cambridge.
Radegund is a compound name. Its parts are gund — each an attested element with a recorded meaning of its own.
Radegund does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Radegund reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
