Sjöfn Name meanings & History

The name Sjöfn means "love" or "affection". It is derived from the Old Norse word "sjófn", which means desire or passion. Name of a minor Norse goddess, one of Frigg's handmaidens, said (by the Icelandic chieftain and poet Snorri Sturluson, d. 1241) to be related to Old Icelandic sjafni "love". Modern-day academics, however, argue that it might rather be related to Old Norse sefi meaning "sense" as well as "relation". Sjöfn is a popular name in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. It is also used in Iceland, but less frequently.
