Ragnhild is a distinctive and unique feminine given name of Norse origin, derived from the Old Norse elements 'regin' meaning 'power' or 'king' and 'hild' meaning 'battle'. This name was quite popular among Norwegian royalty during the Middle Ages, but has since become less common. It is often associated with strength, leadership, and a certain regal elegance.
The name Ragnhild experienced a rise and fall in popularity during the period from 1900 to 1931, with peaks in 1915-1916 and a decline thereafter.
