Griseldis Forename Definition:
In Teutonic, ‘stone battle-maid.’ In C13, the English lady, Græsia de Bruere (French bruyère) doubtless drew her name from German gries, a stone. So too Griselda and Grisel(i)dis transform the German Grieshilda. ‘Griselda was the perfectly patient wife’—nowadays she would be condemned as ‘soft’—‘whose tale was told by Boccaccio, and narrated by Petrarch to Chaucer, who told it in his own way’; the lady was also commemorated by Dekker, Chettle and Haughton in their comedy, Patient Grissil, 1603.
