Meaning & History

Derived from Old Norse heiðr "bright, clear; honour", from which Heidi also derives. This is the name of several characters in Norse mythology: a giant, the son of Hrímnir; another name for the seeress Gullveig; and a name often given to witches or seeresses, possibly an epithet for "good" witches.
