Sunna / sunne Ġiefu / ġiefan > Sunngifu
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) name “Sunngifu,” composed of two elements: “sunna / sunne” (sun) plus “ġiefu / ġiefan” (gift, to give). In turn, the name means “kissed by the sun, the gift of the sun.” Saint Sunniva (10th-century) is the patron saint of the Norwegian Diocese of Bjørgvin, as well as all of Western Norway. According to legend, Sunniva was the heir of an Irish kingdom but had to flee when a heathen king, who wanted to marry her, invaded. At the Norwegian island of Selja, in the present-day municipality of Selje, she and her followers took refuge in a cave.
