Rind is from the Old Norse Rindr — Norse goddess associated with winter and frozen earth. A modern American baby name in the broader Norse heritage aesthetic. Rind is attested in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda (13th c.), Saxo Grammaticus's Gesta Danorum (c. 1200), and the Poetic Edda. Foundational mother of Vali (god of vengeance) — conceived with Odin after he won her through guile, specifically so Vali would avenge Baldr's death by killing the blind god Höðr. Her foundational mythological role in the Baldr-vengeance cycle makes her one of the foundational Norse mother-goddess figures.
