📖 Acerca de Sigurd
Sigurd es un nombre nórdico antiguo clásico que significa «guardián de la victoria», compuesto de sigr (victoria) y vardr (guardián). Pertenece a la misma tradición legendaria que el alemán Siegfried: ambos nombres describen al héroe mitológico que da muerte al dragón Fáfnir y reclama el oro maldito de los nibelungos en la Saga de los Völsungs. El nombre ha sido llevado por reyes noruegos, caudillos vikingos y figuras de la literatura escandinava moderna, y su resonancia heroica permanece vívida hoy.
