Name day (navnedag)

Where did your name come from?

Torunn: loved by Thor, Ingvild: foremothers/ancestors struggle and Synnøve: gift of the Sun

I chose my names in adult life, a few months ago officially mine. All are of Norse origin. I’m from far-Northern Norway with Sámi, Finnish and Kven ethnic and cultural origins. Plus ethnic Northern Norwegian. Southern Scandinavian as well, including some Romani/Reisende (tatere/skøyere) ancestry.

It’s very relevant to my names related to the ethnic minority roots, where they truly came from in my own situation. Consider for example the meaning behind the name Ingvild; foremothers struggle. I also have genetic ethnicity estimates of North African origins as well as Arctic region indigenous among other non-Northern European regions.

Name days for all names:

Torunn has name day 23rd of February

Ingvild has name day 8th of November

Synnøve has name day 8th of July

(Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer signs, all name days are in water element!)

(My real birthday is in August, yeah.. so I’m both a Maiden and a lioness! Quadruple Leo.. Moon sign in either Scorpio or Sagittarius within 4th house. The true Romani freedom of group fireplace spirits from Moon in Sagittarius, or the powerful force of profound emotional depth from combination of both the Moon sign and Pluto in Scorpio).

Thank you all for reading ❤
