Tancred
The original meaning of Tancred is ‘well-thought advice,’ according to its German origin. A second meaning of Tancred is also ‘thoughtful counsel’. Tancred, and its variant spelling Tankred, denotes a ‘brilliant adviser’. This name was particularly popular during the ancient medieval times, and brought to England during the Norman conquest. In literature, the English play ‘Tancred And Gismund’ features the main lead Tancred. ‘What’s Bred In The Bone’, written by Robertson Davies, starred a fictional character named Tancred Saraceni. Torquato Tasso’s ‘La Gerusalemme Liberata’, an epic Italian poem, also featured a Tancred. Jenny Nimmo's adventure series ‘Children Of The Red King’ has a fictional character named Tancred Torsson, too. Other notable people sharing this name include Tankred Dorst, a German writer, Tancred Ibsen, a Norwegian officer, and the King of Sicily, who was known as Tancred of Sicily.

Lucky
Tancred lucky number is 2.
Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
