Gualtiero is Italian in Origin.
Gualtiero is the Italian form of Walter, from Old High German Walthari (wald "rule, power" + hari "army"), ultimately from Proto-Germanic wald- + harjaz. Brought to the peninsula by the Lombards and later reinforced by Norman influence, the name spread in medieval courts and charters; its chivalric aura was echoed in the Latin epic Waltharius (Walter of Aquitaine). In modern Italy it reads dignified yet uncommon, with visibility boosted by the celebrated chef Gualtiero Marchesi.
It means "ruler of the army" or "commander of the host." Italian variants include Valter (phonetic spelling) and the archaic Gualterio; related forms are Walter (English, German), Walther (German), Gauthier/Gautier (French), Gualter (Portuguese), and Gualterio (Spanish, historical). Feminine counterparts are exceedingly rare in Italian. Nicknames like Gualti occur.
