Here is a interesting Article form Medieval Histories.
During the same period the sources mention four high-ranking Roman officers with Frankish names:
Mallobaudes (tribunus armaturarum)
Teutobaudes (protector domesticus)
Richomeres (comes domesticorum)
Nebigastes (utriusque militia)
Julian II, AD 355-363. Heraclea mint. Julian the Apostate or Julian the Philosopher advocated a return to the pre-Christian pagan gods of the Roman empire.
Julian II, AD 355-363. Heraclea mint. Julian the Apostate or Julian the Philosopher advocated a return to the pre-Christian pagan gods of the Roman empire. He was particularly interested in Mysterical Religion and believed to have been initiated into the Mithraic Cult. His coins would have paid the salary of the Frankish feoderati in the mid-4th century.Photo: Edgar Lowen
It is easily seen [2] that some of the names on these two lists in all likelihood refer to the same person. Less obvious, however, is the fact that a number of these persons probably were related. The basis for such an assumption is the fact that Germanic warrior names more often than not were constructed as double names, with two elements one of which would traditionally signify kinship. Thus it is highly likely that Genobaudes, Malobaudes and Teutobaudes were somehow closely related.
Looking further into the list another feature becomes obvious: the use of Mero- as first element in one case, and the use of the same lexem (-meres) as second element in three cases. Out of 11 distinct individuals, four were thus fitted with names varying the first lexem in the “Merovingians”, which also figured in the name Meroveus or rather Merovech, featuring in the fable of Fredegar, written 350–400 years later and quoted above . According to Gregory of Tours, this Merowech († c. 453/457) was the father of Childeric known from his excavated tomb in Tournais [3].
