Sigrun, of Norse origin, translates to "victory run." It was borne by several figures in Norse mythology and history, such as the valkyrie Sigrun who is said to have chosen the slain in battle. The name gained popularity during the Viking Age but has since become quite rare. It follows a common Scandinavian naming pattern, consisting of two elements: 'siger' meaning victory, and 'rún' meaning secret or mystery.
The popularity of the name Sigrun appears to have surged recently with an equal number of births in 2021 and 2022, after a significant gap since its last appearance in 2018. Over these years, there were a total of 16 babies named Sigrun.
