Sigfrid

Sigfrid is a masculine name with ancient Germanic origins, a variant of Siegfried, combining elements meaning "victory" and "peace" or "protection." This powerful name appears in Norse mythology and medieval German epics, most notably in the Nibelungenlied, where Siegfried is a heroic dragon-slayer. Throughout Northern European history, variations of this name have been borne by kings, saints, and nobility.
