"Sigyn" means "girlfriend of victory". Sigyn was also a character in Norse mythology. She was the wife of Loki.
Despite being the wife of the most vicious villain in Norse mythology, Sigyn was the type of traditional wife. Even though Loki had done a bundle of bad things, she forgave.

Though in this day and age, people seldom use "Frigg" as a name. But the "Frigg" name remains a Norse name full of history and mythology.

Sif was the goddess of beautiful golden hair in Norse mythology. Because Sif was the wife of Thor, many scholars translate "Sif" as "bride". And "Sif" was mentioned many times in the Edda.

Don't mistake this with "fairy-tale" or something. Saga was another name of goddess Frigg.
