Brynhild

Brynhild is a variation of the Old Norse name 'Brynhildr'. The poet Edda refers to Brunhilde as a shieldmaiden princess of Austrasia, while also being celebrated as a queen and hero in traditional German legends. The name gained more fame in the modern world through the depiction of the character Brünnhilde in Richard Wagner's opera cycle in 1869. The meaning of Brynhild is 'armoured and battle-ready' or 'armoured fighting woman'. The name has also been associated with strong and progressive women of the new world. Brynhild Olivier (1887-1935) is a famous personality who was actively involved in the women’s movement and socialism, while also belonging to a family that was well-connected with some of the prestigious English authors of the time. There are also some highly accomplished female professionals with the name. Brynhild Berge was an Olympic diver from Norway. Brynhild Haugland was a politician, and Brynhild Grasmoen was an alpine skier, both of American nationality.

Lucky

Brynhild lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
