Sygfried Origin and Meaning

The name Sygfried is a boy's name.

Sygfried is a variant spelling of Siegfried, a masculine name of Germanic origin meaning "victory peace." This powerful name comes from the elements "sig" (victory) and "frið" (peace). Sygfried has deep roots in Germanic mythology and medieval literature, most notably as the dragon-slaying hero in the Nibelungenlied and the protagonist in Wagner's opera cycle. While the traditional spelling Siegfried is more common, the variation Sygfried offers a slightly simplified visual interpretation. The name carries strong associations with heroism, strength, and mythological significance. Despite its ancient origins, Sygfried remains relatively rare, appealing to parents drawn to names with legendary connections and distinctive character.
