History and Origin
Guðrún is one of the most frequently given female names in Iceland. In 2004, it was ranked first before Anna and Sigríður.
According to Icelandic custom, people are generally referred to by first and middle names and patronyms are used if disambiguation is required.
In Old Norse, Goðrún was an alternative version. The Faroese equivalent is Guðrun and the mainland Scandinavian version is Gudrun. The Old Norse name is composed of the elements guð or goð, meaning "god"; and rūn, meaning "rune", "secret lore". The Scandinavian Gudrun was revived in the last half of the 19th century.
Scandinavian: from an Old Norse female personal name composed of the elements guð god + rūn secret lore. In Norse legend this was the name borne by the heroine of the Volsungasaga, sister of Gunnar and wife of Sigurd, whose destruction she brought about. The name was revived in the second part of the 19th century, and is now also used in Germany and to some extent in the English-speaking world, probably under the influence of Wagner, although the character of Gutrune in Wagner's Götterdämmerung does not correspond to the Gudrun of the Volsungasaga.
