Meaning and background

The story behind Saga

Saga has two relevant northern European paths which should not be collapsed. Sága is the name of a figure in Norse mythology, with a possible and disputed connection to a word for seeing. Separately, modern Swedish and Icelandic saga means a story or tale and can inform naming independently. The familiar English word saga is an additional association, but not proof that every bearer shares the mythological route.

Origin
In Norse mythology Sága is a goddess’s name with disputed derivation; Swedish and Icelandic saga is an unrelated word meaning “story” or “tale”. Source
Meaning
As a Swedish or Icelandic word-name, saga means “story” or “tale”; Norse deity-name Sága has an uncertain meaning. Source
