Siegrun

Traditionally associated with ‘victory’ and protective mythic imagery in Old Norse naming.

Siegrun is a traditional feminine given name that reflects Old Norse naming patterns and later Scandinavian/German spellings. You may also see it written as Sigrun, and in some contexts it appears with the Old Norse diacritic form Sigrún. In discussions of meaning, Siegrun is commonly associated with Old Norse name elements linked to ‘victory’ (sig-) and a second element often glossed as ‘secret’ or ‘lore’ (the exact nuance depends on the reference). Because historical names are analyzed from older language forms, explanations can vary slightly while pointing to the same general idea. Pronunciation in modern use is often given as SEE-groon with two clear syllables. A practical tip is that English speakers may try a hard “g” (as in “go”); if you prefer the softer/shorter sound, saying “SEE-” + “groon” cleanly usually lands well.

Etymology: A German spelling of the Old Norse name often written as Sigrún; commonly analyzed as elements meaning ‘victory’ + ‘secret/lore’ (sources vary on nuance).
