From Gyða, an Old Norse diminutive of the name Guðríðr, derived from the Norse elements guð "god" and fríðr "beautiful". It was borne by a Danish noblewoman who married the English lord Godwin of Wessex in the 11th century. The name was used in England for a short time after that, and was revived in the 19th century. |
