What is the meaning of the name Oddnaug ?

Oddnaug is Norwegian in Origin.

Oddnaug is a rare Norwegian feminine given name, a dialectal and regional variant of Oddlaug. It descends from Old Norse elements oddr ("point of a spear; blade") and laug ("vow, solemn promise; betrothal"), yielding the sense "vowed one of the spear-point" or more broadly "battle pledge." The compound belongs to a widespread medieval Norse naming tradition pairing martial first elements with abstract second elements. While Oddlaug appears in medieval records, the Oddnaug spelling surfaces in southern and western Norwegian dialect areas and saw modest use during the 19th- to 20th-century national revival of Old Norse-style names. It remains uncommon today.

Variants and related forms include Oddlaug (standard), Odlaug (simplified), and the cognate pattern in names like Aslaug/Åslaug and Gunlaug that share the -laug element. The masculine root Odd survives independently as a popular Norwegian male name; a separate but related feminine is Oddny/Oddný ("spear-point new").
