Old Norse Girl Names And Meanings

Old Norse baby girl names were feminine and strong, justifying the Viking Age women. Baby girls had strong names like “Vigdis” where “vig” meant battle or combat and “dis” meant goddess or names like Ragnhild were also common. Ragnhild meant an advisor or decision-maker in battle. It is noteworthy that Norse names are composed of two words that together give rise to a new meaning. The names are English forms of Old Norse but still very close to the original.
