Meaning & origin
A rare modern respelling of the Scandinavian classic Astrid, Astryd first appeared in U.S. records in 2004. As of 2025 it ranks 11,932, given to about 1 in 230,610 girls. Its popularity has been rising steadily since 2013, reaching a peak in 2022. The variant swaps the traditional -id ending for a more intuitive -yd, aligning with contemporary preferences for names like Bryn or Lynn. While still unusual, Astryd offers a fresh take on a name with deep Nordic roots and a history of royal and literary use.
Astryd is a spelling variant of Astrid, a name of Old Norse origin derived from Ástríðr, composed of áss (god) and fríðr (beautiful, beloved). The name has been used in Scandinavia since the Middle Ages and gained international recognition through figures such as Swedish princess Astrid. The variant form Astryd appears to be a modern respelling, perhaps influenced by names like Bryn or Gwendolyn.
