What about Jose Rodriguez, US folk singer?

Etymology
As for the origin of the name the Old Norse Hróðgeirr, meaning proud spear or something to that effect springs to mind. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This is just a hunch. Cheerio Io 19:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. As stated in the article, Rodríguez (Spanish) or Rodrigues (Portuguese) is a Patronymic, meaning Son of Rodrigo. Rodrigo comes from the Gothic Roderic (modern English Roderick), meaning Famous Ruler. In old Germanic languages it had forms such as Hrodric (Old High German) and Hroðricus (Old English). In Old Norse, Hrœrekr (Norway, Iceland) and Hrørīkr or Rørik (Denmark, Sweden), from which the Slavic Riurik is derived. The name also appears in Beowulf as Hrēðrīk.

 * Well, I got the hróð-part right. :) (And you're right, hróðr means fame not pride, a slight slip on my part - I must have been distracted.) Cheerio Io 11:09, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Doesn't "ric" mean "rich"? I think the second part of the etymological translation is wrong. Then the name would mean "glorious", lit. famous-rich. Mobi83 (talk) 11:38, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

vandalism
the sentence about the last Visigothic king "its before the abd Muslim conquest ob" or something like that has been vandalized -- believe it should say he was the last Visigothic king before the Muslim conquest and is the subject of many legends, but someone else will have to correct this.
