Tancrède

Tancrède (sometimes spelled Tancrede) is a French masculine given name. It is derived from the Germanic elements thank- meaning "thought, gratitude" and rad meaning "counsel, advice, power." It is most famously associated with:

• Tancred, Prince of Galilee (c. 1075 – 1112): A Norman leader of the First Crusade and later Prince of Galilee and regent of Antioch. He was a significant figure in the crusader states of the Levant.

Due to the historical prominence of Tancred, Prince of Galilee, the name Tancrède has been used in various artistic and literary works.
