Gunna is a feminine name with Norse and Scandinavian origins, derived from elements meaning 'battle' or 'war.' In Norse mythology, Gunnr was one of the Valkyries, the powerful female figures who chose warriors to join Odin in Valhalla. The name carries connotations of strength, courage, and resilience. While relatively uncommon outside Nordic countries, Gunna remains in use in Iceland, Norway, and other Scandinavian regions.
