Zigfrid Origin and Meaning

The name Zigfrid is a boy's name of Hungarian origin.

Zigfrid is a variant spelling of Siegfried, a masculine name with ancient Germanic origins. The traditional name Siegfried combines the Old Germanic elements 'sig' meaning 'victory' and 'frithu' meaning 'peace' or 'protection,' creating the powerful meaning of 'victorious peace' or 'victory protection.' This heroic name features prominently in Germanic mythology and medieval literature, most famously as the dragon-slaying hero in the epic poem 'Nibelungenlied' and later in Wagner's opera cycle 'The Ring of the Nibelung.' The Zigfrid spelling variation offers a more phonetic, modernized approach to the traditional name. While the standard Siegfried remains uncommon in contemporary usage, Zigfrid is even rarer. The name carries strong associations with heroism, strength, and Germanic cultural heritage, appealing to parents seeking names with mythological significance and distinctive character.
