Cultural context
Astrid is a Norse name from 'Ástríðr', composed of 'áss' (god) and 'fríðr' (beautiful, beloved), meaning 'divinely beautiful'. It has been a royal name in Norway and Sweden for over a millennium — Queen Astrid of Norway (1905–1935) and Swedish Princess Astrid are notable bearers. The name became internationally recognisable through Astrid Lindgren, the Swedish author of Pippi Longstocking. In the animated franchise How to Train Your Dragon, Astrid Hofferson is a beloved female lead, giving the name pop-culture visibility for younger audiences. The name is popular across Scandinavia and entering UK and US naming trends.
