er Gullveig / geirum studdu
when Gullveig / Geirum supported,
- Gullveig The etymology of the Old Norse name Gullveig is problematic. The first element, Gull-, means “gold”, yet the second element, veig, is murky (a situation shared with the Old Norse personal names Rannveig, Sölveig, and Thórveig). Veig may sometimes mean “alcoholic drink”, “power, strength”, and sometimes also “gold”. The name Heiðr (Old Norse “fame”, in adjective form “bright, clear”) is semantically related; scholar Rudolf Simek comments that although Gullveig’s name changes to Heiðr, the meaning still remains basically the same.[1] Heiðr is sometimes anglicized as Heith, Heid, or Heidi. / veig (pl. -ar), f. (1) strong beverage, drink (hann skal drekka dýrar veigar); (2) pith, strength (fór þat líð aptr, er honum, þótti minni veig í).
