Etymology

edit

From Old Norse Astríðr, Ástríðr, from earlier Ásríðr, a variant of Ásfríðr, from Proto-Norse *ᚨᚾᛊᚢᚠᚱᛁᚦᛁᛃᛟᛉ (*ansufriþijoʀ), from Proto-Germanic *ansuz (god) + *frīdaz (beautiful), equivalent to ås +‎ frid. Doublet of Åsfrid.

It has also been claimed to come from ást (love), whence also modern åst, but this is likely a reinterpretation.[1]

Cognates include with Faroese Astríð, Ástríð, and Icelandic Ástríður.
