Gunther
Old Norse origin
Gunther is a German given name, from words meaning "war" and "army." It appears in medieval Germanic legend as the name of a Burgundian king.
In American pop culture, Gunther is the lovelorn barista in the television series *Friends*.
The name has an old-fashioned, vaguely Teutonic ring to English speakers.
