A male given name of Germanic origin, famously borne by the legendary hero in Norse and German mythology.
From Old High German 'Sigifrid,' combining 'sigi' (victory) and 'frid' (peace). The name literally means 'victory peace.' Siegfried is particularly famous from the Nibelungenlied, a medieval German epic poem about heroic deeds and treasures.
Siegfried is the central hero in Wagner's opera cycle 'The Ring of the Nibelung,' one of the longest operas ever written. The mythological Siegfried had a dragon-slaying sword and magical armor, making him the ultimate medieval video game character.
