Divine Warrior
DIVINE WARRIOR
It certainly is a real English name
And true English, of Angle origin
But some may say, Viking Norse
There are two name components
God and Bear, or Divine Warrior
Like King Arthur’s coat of arms
But more in Essex than his Wessex
Yet 11th century Viking influence
From William’s Norman invasion
Brought prominence to the name
Yet in slightly more modern times
A famous sherry made in Cadiz
A black bull symbol everywhere
And unofficial Spanish emblem
But the name continues strongly
From playwright to laptop maker
Recently extending to Exchequer
A name that has secured its place
And that I am still proud to own
