Álfsól Origin and Meaning

The name Álfsól is a girl's name meaning "elf of the sun".

This modern Icelandic name combines the elements alfr meaning "elf" and sol meaning "sun" to create something reminiscent of folktales and epic poetry. It's a rare choice, but has been approved as a given name in Iceland, meaning there is at least one person out there with Álfsól as a first or middle name. The Swedish form is Alfsol.

For a better understanding of the Icelandic pronunciation, it is probably easiest to listen to it being said.
