Gudlaug is Norse, Scandinavian in Origin.
Gudlaug is a Scandinavian given name rooted in Old Norse Guðlaug, from guð “god; deity” + laug “vowed, betrothed, consecrated.” It is usually interpreted as “God‑dedicated” or “pledged to the gods”; the homonymous noun meaning “bath” is not intended in personal names. The name can be feminine or unisex historically, with the specifically masculine Icelandic form Guðlaugur.
Documented on Viking‑Age runestones in eastern Sweden - most notably a woman named Guðlaug who raised memorial stones - Gudlaug continued in medieval Norway and remains in the modern Icelandic name stock. Spellings vary by language: Guðlaug (Icelandic/Faroese), Gudlaug (Norwegian/Swedish/Anglicized), with male Guðlaugur; related compounds with -laug include Áslaug/Åslaug. Usage today is modest but sustained across Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
