Saga

Meaning of Saga

Saga (pronounced SAH-guh) is a charming feminine name rooted in Old Norse, where the word itself means “story” or “legend” and even names the Norse goddess of history and poetry. It evokes a tapestry of epic tales once sung by skalds beside mist-shrouded fjords, yet feels equally at home in India’s own kathā tradition, where elders gather around a flickering lamp to weave moral parables. Though still uncommon in the United States—just nineteen baby girls were named Saga in 2024, a gentle rise from ten in prior years—its quiet ascent reflects a growing affection for names that blend mythic depth with modern grace. With its melodic rhythm and evocative heritage, Saga offers families a name that carries the promise of adventure and a lifetime of stories waiting to unfold—perhaps even more entertaining than the latest family group-chat saga.
