ArchivesRe: "Svanhildr"
in reply to a message by "Bagpus"
Svanhildr's probably a form of the Germanic Swanhilda. The element swan has an unknown meaning, but hild means "battle".
Other forms in the database are the Norwegian Svanhild, the Icelandic Svanhildur, the German Swanhild and Swanhilde, and the generic variant Schwanhild.
