Gudrin Origin and Meaning

The name Gudrin is a girl's name.

Gudrin appears to be a variation of Gudrun (or Gudrún), a feminine name with ancient Norse origins. In Norse mythology, Gudrun was a significant figure in the Volsunga saga and the Poetic Edda. The traditional name derives from Old Norse elements 'guð' meaning 'god' and 'rún' meaning 'secret lore' or 'secret wisdom,' thus signifying 'god's secret knowledge.' This name remains uncommon outside of Scandinavian countries and communities with Norse heritage. The spelling variation 'Gudrin' simplifies the pronunciation slightly for non-Scandinavian speakers. Parents choosing this name often have connections to Norse heritage or are drawn to its strong historical associations and distinctive sound.
