Idunna is a feminine name with roots in Norse mythology, where Iðunn (the more traditional spelling) was the goddess who kept the magical apples that granted the gods eternal youth. The name likely derives from Old Norse elements meaning 'ever young' or 'rejuvenation.' This uncommon name carries powerful mythological associations with youth, vitality, and renewal. Though rare in most Western countries, Idunna appeals to parents interested in Norse heritage or seeking names with mythological significance. The name has a melodic quality with its flowing vowels and soft consonants, giving it an ethereal, feminine feel while still conveying strength through its connection to a powerful goddess figure.
