About Sindre
A variation of the Old Norse name Sindri, which is borne by a blacksmith dwarf in Norse mythology, who, with his brother, made Thor's hammer. With its appealing meaning "sparkling", this form is familiar in Norway and was particularly popular in the 90s, when it ranked #21 in the Norwegian charts.
Pronounced SIN-druh.
