Name Root:
valr *keusaną > kjósa > valkyrja
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old Norse “valkyrja,” composed of two elements: the “valr” (the slain, wound, injure) plus “*keusaną > kjósa” (to choose). In turn, the name means “chooser of the slain.” In Norse mythology, a Valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who decide which soldiers die in battle and which live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle (the other half go to the goddess Freyja’s afterlife field Fólkvangr), the Valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin.
