I know I said I was going to make my MCU Sigyn Alternate Universe master post soon, but the end of the university is overwhelming, so I give you this abstract on her name and family
Sigyn Sælldóttir
Sigyn is a name formed of the Norse words Sigr - meaning victory and Vina - meaning friend. Her name hence means "the friend of victory" or "victorious girl friend"
As for her last name, I was inspired by another Norse word related to victory, Sigrsæll - meaning victorious
Considering that names relating to victory in battle could be a family tradition and also considering Asgard as a military culture, I decided the name of her father could be Sæll - meaning fortunate and happy, and because of its part in the forming of the word Sigrsæll.
(Also I followed the sources that place her as part of the Æsir, while I love the headcanons of Sigyn as a Vanir, it just worked for the ideas I had)
Hence, her name is Sigyn Sæelldóttir
As for her mother, I was inspired by one of Sigyn's kenning, the Incantation Fetter. That kenning also inspired the way I see her specific style of seidr, and how she uses it to bind or unbind, for example. (It will be elaborated in another post I promise)
Since seidr is seen as more of a feminine attribute even in MCU Asgard (see Frigga and Eir), this type of seidr that Sigyn has is inherited from her mother, whose name relates to it as well.
The Norse adjective fjǫtra, meaning bind or fetter is my base, from which I made the name Fjǫtra (yeah, not so creative but hey)
So this is the little lore behind Sigyn Sælldòttir, daughter of Æsir diplomats Sæll and Fjǫtra

Currently thinking of making my MCU Sigyn interpretation master post, complete with her story line, the way she would fit in the MCU and a bunch of other random ideas. Would anyone actually like that? If I make it I'd also make it in another format for my TikTok and my Instagram since most of my Sigyn art gets it's traction there

Look, I have a lot of headcanons but also a lot of exams, so random bribs are to be expected.
Anyway, Loki and Sigyn, under the mind stone and Thanos' control during the first Avengers movie is very resounding in this song
