Meaning and background
The story behind Valkyrie
Valkyrie has a specific Norse mythological association. Merriam-Webster describes one of Odin's maidens who chooses heroes to fall in battle and conducts them to Valhalla. An owner interested in that mythology can choose the word deliberately for a dog. The source supports the mythological role rather than a generic warrior-personality claim, and a particular fictional namesake would be an additional association.
