Sigrid comes from the Old Norse Sigríðr — composed of sigr (victory) and fríðr (beautiful, fair) — meaning "beautiful victory." The name has been used in Scandinavia continuously since the Viking age.
Sigrid Undset (1882-1949), the Norwegian novelist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1928, is one of the most famous bearers. The Norwegian pop singer Sigrid (born 1996) has brought the name to a new international audience.
Sigrid reduces to six — the number of victorious beauty.
