Alfhild Meaning

From the Old Norse name Alfhildr which was composed of the elements alfr 'elf' and hildr 'battle'. In Norse legend Alfhild was a maiden who disguised herself as a warrior in order to avoid marriage to king Alf. Her life was perhaps based on that of a 9th-century Viking pirate. Alfhild originates in Old Norse and means 'battle of elves'. As a feminine given name it is mainly popular in Scandinavia, in the US it is very rare.
