Sigfryd Origin and Meaning

Sigfryd is a masculine name with strong Germanic roots, representing a variant spelling of Siegfried. The traditional name derives from Old Germanic elements 'sig' meaning 'victory' and 'frid' meaning 'peace' or 'protection'. Historically significant through Norse mythology and medieval Germanic epic poems, particularly 'The Nibelungenlied', where Siegfried appears as a dragon-slaying hero. This alternate spelling gives the classic name a distinctive touch while maintaining its heroic associations. Though uncommon in contemporary usage, Sigfryd carries the weight of historical significance and mythological heroism, appealing to parents drawn to names with strong traditional meanings and uncommon spelling variations.
