History & Origin

Sigrid comes from Old Norse Sigríðr — sigr, 'victory', plus fríðr, 'beautiful, beloved' — 'beautiful victory'. Borne by saga queens, Nobel novelist Sigrid Undset, and Norwegian pop star Sigrid, it is Scandinavia's enduring classic.

In the U.S. it appears in Nordic-heritage families and among Scandi-style lovers. Rare, victory-fair at the root, and steel-and-silk.

Did you know? Sigrid the Haughty, the legendary Norse queen, burned her unwanted suitors in a hall — and Nobel laureate Sigrid Undset and pop's Sigrid keep the name blazing gentler today.
