Audur Origin and Meaning

The name Audur is a girl's name.

Audur is a feminine name of Old Norse origin meaning 'wealth,' 'prosperity,' or 'rich.' In Norse mythology and medieval Icelandic sagas, several notable women bore this name, including Auður djúpúðga (Aud the Deep-Minded), a prominent settlement-era figure in Iceland known for her wisdom and independence. Traditionally spelled Auður in modern Icelandic with the eth (ð) character, it's sometimes simplified to Audur internationally. The name embodies the Nordic values of strength, resilience, and prosperity. Though rare outside Iceland and Scandinavian countries, Audur offers a distinctive choice with strong historical roots for those seeking a name that combines feminine qualities with connotations of power and self-reliance.
