覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Goddard は英語圏の姓で、実際の文では Goddard と大文字で始める。人名要素 god「神」と hard「強い、勇敢な」に関係するゲルマン系の名が古フランス語を経て姓になったと捉えると、中央の d が二つある God-dard という綴りを保ちやすい。guest list や family name と結び付けて覚える。
Remember Goddard as a surname, not as an ordinary descriptive noun. In normal writing, capitalize it: Goddard. The name comes through a Germanic personal-name tradition containing elements associated with “god” and “hard” or “brave,” which gives you a factual guide to its beginning and general structure. Notice the double d in the middle: God-dard. Practice it in realistic name contexts such as Mr. Goddard, the Goddard family, and Goddard was written on the guest list. These combinations reinforce both the spelling and its grammatical role as a family name.

goddard の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ゲルマン語の人名に由来し、古フランス語Godardを経て英語に入った。god(神)+ hard(強い・勇敢な)で「神のごとく強き者」の意。同じgod-を持つGodfrey(神の平和)やGodwin(神の友)と同系統の名前である。
Goddard is an English surname derived through Old French Godard from a Germanic personal name. Its elements are traditionally connected with a word for “god” and an element meaning “hard,” “strong,” or “brave.” Names built with related Germanic elements were carried into medieval England and later became hereditary surnames. The modern spelling preserves the double d, and English normally capitalizes the word when it identifies a person or family.
