As the title says! I've got quite a satisfyingly-full list for now, but they're almost all from the same handful of European languages, and I'm having trouble finding others. So if you know any, please comment!

For brevity's sake, I decided to omit names that mean "strong." Yes, it's a physical trait, but it's also so common as a meaning that I'd get bored with the sheer amount.

The list so far:

Algernon - mustached

Aquila - dark, swarthy

Aquilina - dark, swarthy

Brice - speckled

Calvin - bald

Calvo - bald

Cameron - crooked nose (possibly)

Claude - lame

Claudia - lame

Crispin - curly-haired

Crispina - curly-haired

Crispus - curly-haired

Esau - hairy

Finlay - blonde

Finn - fair

Flanagan - ruddy

Fusca - swarthy

Fuscian - swarthy

Gwen - fair

Gwyn - fair

Hamill - scarred

Malcolm - bald, tonsured

Mancia - crippled

Mancina - left-handed

Mancius - crippled

Lombard - long beard

Parva - small

Paul - small

Rufus - ruddy

Tamir - tall

notes:

if a name derived from germanic languages ends in -ric, -rich, or sometimes -rey, it's often sign that the name is derived from old high german -rih or old english -ric, ruler.

the name malik alludes more towards ownership when pronounced with a long i (مليك), whereas a short i (ملِك) means king. however, both are accepted in cultures where arabic is not predominant, with the long i being more common.

(Not because I'm overly concerned about historical accuracy, we die like the accuracy in this show)

A couple of notes before the list:

1. Arthurian legend takes place in the 5th and 6th century modern-day England, but the legends themselves were largely written down and romanticized in the 12th through 15th centuries, and some of the character names reflect that. Also, practically none of the names I combed through were recorded in centuries 5 and 6 in England. Combining these factors with the fact that Arthurian contributors occasionally invented names (Percival, for example), as well as the fact that there are far fewer feminine names than masculine recorded, take all of this with a grain of salt -- and don't be afraid to take creative liberties! I tried to limit the list to names found before 1000, but I bent those limits a little.

2. Many names of Greek and Latin origin only came in use in England in the 12th century. Most Biblical names only came into use even later than that, mostly in the 16th century with the protestant reformation. For instance, the name Mary was only recorded in England in the 1100s.

Anyway!! Here is a list of masculine and feminine names found in historical records that might've been used in the Arthurian setting. I chose lesser-known ones for the sake of not overlapping with canon characters.
