Editing Sigyn (section)

==Scholastic reception==
While the name ''Sigyn'' is found as a female personal name in Old Norse sources (Old Norse ''sigr'' meaning 'victory' and ''vina'' meaning 'female friend'), and though in surviving sources she is largely restricted to a single role, she appears in the 9th century skaldic poem ''Haustlöng'' from [[Norse paganism|pagan]] times, written by the [[skald]] [[Þjóðólfr of Hvinir]]. Due to this early connection with Loki, Sigyn has been theorized as a god dating back to an older form of [[Germanic paganism]].<ref name=SIMEK284>Simek (2007:284).</ref>
