Reydis

Reydis is a rare Old Norse name, derived from the elements 'hreidr' meaning 'nest, home' or 'hreiðr' meaning 'beautiful, glorious' and 'dís' meaning 'goddess, lady, woman'. The interpretation 'beautiful counsel' or 'glorious counsel' comes from the 'hreiðr' element combined with 'dís' which can also imply a wise female figure. Names ending in '-dís' were common in Old Norse and often had mythological or poetic connotations.

The name has seen very limited use outside of historical or academic contexts related to Old Norse studies. Its rarity makes it a unique choice for those interested in ancient Scandinavian heritage.
