📖 À propos Sigurd
Sigurd est un prénom norrois classique signifiant « gardien de la victoire », composé de sigr (victoire) et vardr (gardien). Il appartient à la même tradition légendaire que l'allemand Siegfried : les deux prénoms désignent le héros mythologique qui tue le dragon Fáfnir et s'empare de l'or maudit des Nibelungs dans la Völsunga saga. Le prénom a été porté par des rois norvégiens, des chefs vikings et des figures de la littérature scandinave moderne ; sa résonance héroïque demeure vive aujourd'hui.
