Kára
[ˈkɑːrə]Meaning
Old Norse Kára, a valkyrie, meaning "the wild, stormy one" or "the curly one".
Background Story
In Norse mythology, Kára is a valkyrie, attested in the prose epilogue of the Poetic Edda poem Helgakviða Hundingsbana II. The name is derived either from Old Norse afkárr, meaning "wild", or from kárr, meaning "curl". Otto Höfler theorizes a connection between the "curl" etymology and the Odinic cult name Odinkar, meaning "the one with the (long?) Odin's curls".
