Would make a great middle name.

It's okay, I prefer Swanhilda. This sounds more masculine to me personally.

This name needs to be corrected. The "Swan" does not mean "swan" like the bird.
Old Icelandic sveinn 'boy, servant', Old English swān 'herdsman, swineherd, peasant' + Old Icelandic hildr, Old English hild 'battle'.

This is a German name, not an Icelandic name. "Schwan" is the German word for "swan".

I like German names, and this name sounds very authentic and doesn't seem to be too common in the US, not sure about Germany. And it isn't frilly or flowery or overly delicate like some English girls names are, which is what is so nice about Scandanavian names. I wish more girls were given names like this instead of names that are boy's names, or names like Isabella or something that are just so feminine they can't be strong names.

Nice… I hadn't heard this name until two minutes ago and I think it's really pretty. I also like the variant Swanahilda, though Swanhild is more pure. A nickname could be Hilda or maybe Tilda or Swana. And I agree: it is definitely a fairy tale princess sort of name.

Swanhild is such a beautiful name! I agree with the previous comments- this name is very fascinating and I love it how it makes me think of fairy tales.

Interesting name. Kinda pretty as well - like the name of a fairytale princess or something.

I'm not normally a fan of "-hild" or "-hilda" names (most sound quite harsh), but Swanhild just sounds so cool! I love it!

Then again, since English is my first (and so far my only) language, I would pronounce it SWAN-hild instead of the German SVAN-hild.
