Origin: German

Meaning: Swan

Swan, meaning "swan," is a modern spin on an ancient name originating in England by way of Saxony, Germany. Swanhild was a name belonging to "the most beautiful of all women" in Germanic mythology, but her tale is one of tragedy. Like a phoenix from the flames, Swan emerged from the story of Swanhild gliding gracefully and majestically.
