Þrúðr
Þrúðr is the name of a valkyrie. Jacob Grimm suggests a relation to the valkyrie's name Þrúðr. If so it is natural to connect the druden with the daughter of the chieftain of the gods in the Norse religion, Thor, and his wife Sif.

“Jacob Grimm suggests derivation from a euphemistic trût (modern traut, meaning "dear, beloved; intimate"), but cites as an alternative suggestion a relation to the valkyrie's name Þrúðr. If so it is natural to connect the druden with the daughter of the chieftain of the gods in the Norse religion, Thor, and his wife Sif.”
