About Alkelda

Saint Alkelda was a semi-legendary Anglo-Saxon princess, who was also either a nun or abbess of a monastery in the north of England. She was killed by Viking women during Danish raids in the 8th century.

Her name is made up of the Old English elements hǣlan meaning "to heal" and celde meaning "spring", making it a strong sounding name with a comforting meaning.

Pronounced al-KEL-duh.
