Kunigunde is a Germanic name from Old High German, built from two elements meaning 'clan' and 'war', so kin or family joined with battle. You may see it described as meaning 'bold' or 'brave in war', but that's a loose modern simplification: the actual elements point to family and battle, not bravery directly.
