What is the meaning of the name Gudrinn ?

The baby name Gudrinn is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɡuːdrɪn/ (approx. "GOO-drin").

Gudrinn is Norse, Scandinavian in Origin.

Gudrinn is a modern respelling of the Old Norse feminine name Guðrún, built from guð "god, divine" and rún "secret, rune," yielding senses like "divine secret" or "god’s hidden lore." The name belongs to the wider Germanic tradition of theophoric compounds and is well attested in the Norse sagas.

In myth and legend, Guðrún Gjúkadóttir stands at the heart of the Völsunga saga; parallel forms also surface in medieval Germanic literature, including the Middle High German Kudrun. The spelling Gudrun spread across Scandinavia and Germany, where it enjoyed strong use from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, while Icelandic Guðrún has remained consistently popular into the present. Variants include Guðrún (Icelandic/Faroese), Gudrun (German, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish), and Kudrun (medieval German); Gudrinn, with its double n, functions as a contemporary creative variant while preserving the same etymology and meaning.
