Okay so I\u2019m looking at old Norse names for my SCA persona, and I\u2019m thinking I like\u00a0Sigrdr\u00edfa. The trouble is, I can\u2019t find much at all on the origin\/mythology of the name. I know she was a valkyrie, that\u2019s all. Anyone got more? I\u2019d appreciate any help\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My go-to for name stuff is the Academy of St. Gabriel. They have…<\/p>\n

A list of links related to Scandinavian Names<\/a>, including A Simple Guide to Creating Old Norse Names<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It appears that Sigrdrifa is more a title than a name itself.<\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The name\u00a0Sigrdr\u00edfa<\/em>\u00a0means “victory-urger” or “inciter to victory”,[2]<\/a><\/sup>[3]<\/a><\/sup>) and is in an epithet of the\u00a0valkyrie<\/a>\u00a0Brynhildr<\/a>. It occurs in\u00a0Fafnismal<\/a>\u00a0(stanza 44), and the prose following stanza 4 of the Sigrdrifumal glosses it as the valkyrie’s name. Early editors of the text have followed this lead and given the title of\u00a0Sigrdrifumal<\/em>\u00a0to this section of the Codex Regius text.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the ASG, I have found these variants of\u00a0Sigrdrifa<\/em>:<\/p>\n
