From Name Origins
" German Meaning:
The name Guy is a German baby name. In German the meaning of the name Guy is: warrior. "
Was required to do a report on the meanings of our names when we were in grade school. My christian school was less than pleased with my findings and tried to "alter" my report. Hilarious.
Also, let the italian jokes start because Guy=Guidano/Guido and has nearly the same meaning in italian lineage. Which is why my dad chose the name Guy, to honor my grandfather (Guidano/Gpa Guy) And the German Heritage too. Boom, doesn't seem like such a lazy choice now does it?

Sorry to disappoint, but Guy is Norman French for the ancient Germanic Wido which goes back into Pagan Germanic times and is related to the element "Wood"
http://www.behindthename.com/name/guy
Guido is Italian for Guy though. So naming you Guy after grandpa Guido is sensible enough. But it appears to have nothing to do with the idea of "warrior".
Krieger is German for warrior/soldier.
Like Robby Krieger, guitarist from The Doors.
Guy
The German form of Guy is Veit.

Maybe the actual translation of the word in German, but it's verifiable by several different lineage markers. Not just one site, hundreds, I even remember the book they had us use. There was some German knight who went haywire and was beheading people n the battlefield as he saw fit. Not a good name to name your child from what I remember. Names will have different meaning over the word. I can supply the multiple links when I get home.

I've also known a few Americans named Guy. There are some famous French Canadian athletes named Guy. A shit ton of French dudes named Guy. I have a bunch of German colleagues. I've never heard the name used among modern Germans.
The only actual formal etymolgy TRACING the name I can find is French Norman from Old German (Wido).
I don't particularly care. Simply I NEVER thought of Guy as a German name and can't find much (any) actual evidence to support it. But I haven't put a lot of time into it. I stand to be corrected.
Anyway, I love the French. A lot of great things about their culture and a very rich history. In no way I'm sideways making fun of you for having what I think of as a French name.

I'm just saying I have done the research before, so did my dad. Even a quick Google search confirms what I've always believed. More than enough effort has been placed for it.

Your Google must work different than mine. I did, however, find a list of 524 male names connoting warrior. Guy wasn't it in it. 
http://www.20000-names.com/warrior_n...es_male_02.htm
I'm just fucking with you now. I like the name. And for that matter I like wood. And I like French culture. You're either a warrior type or your not. A rose is a rose by any other name home slice.
