Sváfa
In Norse mythology, Sváfa or Sváva is a valkyrie and the daughter of king Eylimi. Consequently, she was probably the maternal aunt of Sigurd, the dragon slayer, although this is not explicitly mentioned in ''Helgakviða Hjörvarðssonar'' where Sváfa's story appears. ==Etymology== The etymology of the valkyrie's name has been theorized as meaning "sleep-maker" or as "Suebian",〔(Peterson, Lena. (2002). ''Nordiskt runnamnslexikon'', at ''Institutet för språk och folkminnen'', Sweden. )〕 and it may not be a coincidence that a king ''Sváfnir'' and the kingdom ''Sváfaland'' also appears in this poem (it is also mentioned in the ''Þiðrekssaga''), although they are never directly connected with her.
