kárr (AF-KÁRLIGR > AFKÁRR)
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old Norse “kárr”, meaning “curly (hair)”, or from the Old Norse “afkárr”, from the old Germanic adj. “af-kárligr”, meaning “tempest, stormy one, strange, prodigious, odd, like a madman”. In Norse mythology, Kára is a valkyrie. Kára is attested in the prose epilogue of the Poetic Edda poem Helgakviða Hundingsbana II. The epilogue details that “there was a belief in the pagan religion, which we now reckon an old wives’ tale, that people could be reincarnated,” and that the deceased valkyrie Sigrún and her dead love Helgi Hundingsbane were considered to have been reborn as another Helgi and valkyrie couple; Helgi as Helgi Haddingjaskati and Sigrún as the daughter of Halfdan; the valkyrie Kára.
