Request origin of; Gülde Gulde Guelde Gulden Thank you. Don

According to "German-American Names" by George F. Jones the names you list are all a form of Gulde, meaning "guilder". From what he says, this was originally a nickname from the large coin (Gulden or guilder) and very likely was a complimentary name to suggest a person of a generous or magnanimous nature.
