Canute Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Soon, apparently, to be obsolete. Originally Danish, where, as Cnut, Knud, or Knut, a hill or a barrow or even a protuberance; it is, therefore, cognate with our knot. The form Canute is caused by his Latin name, Canutus, probably given as equivalent to ‘white-haired’. Its use as an English font-name is probably, in large part, owing to the story of Canute and the disobedient waves,—which is at least as famous as that of Alfred and the inconsiderate cakes: see Ince & Partridge, Alfred the Cake, 1936.
Teutonic (masculine) - Knot, fig. strength.
