Meaning & usage
a female given name from Old Norse
Where this word comes from
Derived from Old Norse Magna (“female given name”), either by continuation or revival. The Old Norse name is the feminine form of Magni (“male given name”), from magn (“might, strength”). The modern Norwegian name may also be a short form of compound names containing this element, especially Magnhild, or a feminine derivative of Magnus, ultimately from Latin magnus (“great”). First attested in 1310 in Norway; documented again in modern use from 1850. Compare Danish Magna, Swedish Magna, Icelandic Magna and Faroese Magna (“female given name”).
