Signy or
Signe (sometimes known as
Sieglinde) is the name of two heroines in two connected legends from
Scandinavian mythology which were very popular in medieval Scandinavia. Both appear in the
Völsunga saga, which was adapted into other works such as Wagner's
'Ring' cycle, including its famous opera
The Valkyrie. Signy is also the name of two characters in several other sagas.
