Old Norse name of debated definition. Some believe it to be derived from gud (a god) and run (secret lore): hence, "secret lore of the gods." Alternatively, it might be derived from Guthrun, which is from guthr (war, battle) and runa (close friend): hence, "a friend of war." In Norse mythology, Gudrun was the daughter of Gjuki, the Nikelung king, and sister of Gunnar. She was responsible for luring Sigurd away from Brynhild and marrying him, which brought about his destruction. Pet forms: Guro (Norwegian) |
