Aslaug is Norse in Origin.
Aslaug is a feminine given name of Old Norse origin, from Áslaug (elements: Ás “god, one of the Æsir” + -laug “vow, dedication; betrothed woman”). Its sense is often rendered “vowed to the gods” or “god‑betrothed.” The name has deep roots in Viking‑age Scandinavia and appears in medieval records across the region.
The name is renowned through legendary sagas: Aslaug (also called Kráka), daughter of Sigurðr and Brynhildr, becomes the clever, resourceful queen and later wife of Ragnar Loðbrók, appearing in the Völsunga saga and the Tale of Ragnar’s Sons; this tradition helped preserve the name in Norway and Iceland. Modern forms include Åslaug (Norwegian), Áslaug (Icelandic), Aslaug (anglicized), Åslög/Aslög (Swedish), and Asløg (Danish/Norwegian). Usage today is uncommon outside Scandinavia but saw a revival during the 19th–20th‑century national romantic movements. Diminutives are rare; bearers typically use the full form.
