Astrid
Meaning of Astrid
Astrid sails in from the cool Norse fjords with a name that means “divine strength and beauty,” yet she twinkles like una estrella in the Latin night sky. In Swedish it’s AH-streed, in English AS-trid, but in every tongue her crisp vowels feel bright and quick. Story lovers picture Astrid Lindgren, creator of Pippi Longstocking, proving this name can somersault with playful courage. Astrid is the star on Viking shields and the spark in tomorrow’s sci-fi heroines, so parents who want corazón and backbone in one tiny bundle find both here. In the United States she’s quietly climbing the charts—easy to spell, rare enough to shine—making Astrid a pequeño tesoro for families who dream big.
