Guðrún is one of the most frequently given female names in Iceland. In 2004, it was ranked first before Anna and Sigríður.〔(Statistics Iceland )〕〔Lonely Planet Iceland Fran Parnell, Etain O'Carroll - 2007 - Page 23 "Most popular girl's name: Guðrún"〕 According to Icelandic custom, people are generally referred to by first and middle names and patronyms are used if disambiguation is required. In Old Norse, Goðrún was an alternative version. The Faroese equivalent is Guðrun and the mainland Scandinavian version is Gudrun. The Old Norse name is composed of the elements ''guð'' or ''goð'', meaning "god"; and ''rūn'', meaning "rune", "secret lore". The Scandinavian Gudrun was revived in the last half of the 19th century. ==Famous people called ''Guðrún''== *Guðrún Gjúkadóttir, person in the Eddic poems *Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir, protagonist of the Medieval Icelandic Laxdœla saga *Guðrún Bjarnadóttir, Icelandic Miss International in 1963 *Guðrún Helgadóttir, Icelandic writer of children's literature *Guðrún Eva Mínervudóttir, Icelandic writer *Guðrún Katrín Þorbergsdóttir, First Lady of Iceland (1996–1998) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guðrún」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
