Meaning & History
Means "changeable" in Old Norse. This name belongs to a Valkyrie in both the skaldic poem 'Darraðarljóð' and the Poetic Edda book the 'Skáldskaparmál' (where it is used as a kenning (synonym) for "battle" - presumably in reference to the changeable nature of fate, of which the Valkyries are represented as directors).
