Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

, Scandinavian Legend.

Origin of Aslaug¹

From the Old Norse word Āslaug

Brynhild said: "Our daughter Aslaug thou shalt rear up here with thee."

Aslaug is like a favorite representation of Brynhild that we have seen, a lily-maid in aspect, or a Marguerite.

In those days it was an unheard-of thing that a well-to-do peasant of old family should court a girl of Aslaug's class.

No one could now show more pride of race than Aslaug, the poor cottar's daughter.

There was one, however, who did not say so, and that was Aslaug.
