Brynhild (Brynhildr) combines the Old Norse brynja (armor, mail-coat) and hildr (battle) — meaning "armored for battle." In Norse mythology, Brynhild is a Valkyrie cursed by Odin to sleep until awakened by a hero.
Brynhild is a compound name. Its parts are hild — each an attested element with a recorded meaning of its own.
Brynhild does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Brynhild reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
