  • Heiðr (also rendered Heid, Hed, Heith, Hetha etc, from the Old Norse adjective meaning "bright" or the noun meaning "honour") is a Norse female personal name. It may refer to the seeress and witch (völva) mentioned in one stanza of Völuspá, related to the story of the Æsir-Vanir war: Heith they named herwho sought their home,The wide-seeing witch,in magic wise;Minds she bewitchedthat were moved by her magic,To evil womena joy she was.—Völuspá (22), Bellows’ translation The general assumption is that here, "Heiðr" is an alternate name for the witch Gullveig, mentioned in the previous stanza, who, in turn, is often thought to be a hypostasis of Freyja. But it is sometimes argued that the völva who recites the poem refers to herself. Heiðr is also a seeress in several works such as Landnámabók ( 179 / H 45), Hrólfs saga kraka (3) and Örvar-Odds saga (2), where she predicts Örvar's death. Heiðr is also the name of a child of the giant Hrímnir according to Völuspá hin skamma (Hyndluljóð, 32). Saxo Grammaticus reported a shield-maiden bearing this name as captain of the contingent from fighting for the Danes at the Battle of Brávellir in the year 750. She was said to be the daughter of King Harald Hildetand. (en)

Er wordt aangenomen dat Heiðr de alternatieve naam voor de heks Gullveig is. Deze heks wordt in de stanza ervoor genoemd, en men meent dat op Freya wordt gedoeld. Soms wordt aangenomen dat de Völva, die het gedicht opdraagt, naar zichzelf verwijst. Heiðr is ook een zieneres in enkele andere werken zoals Landnámabók, en , waarin ze de dood van voorspelt. (nl)
