Syn is from the Old Norse Syn (denial, defense). A modern American baby name in the broader Norse heritage aesthetic. Syn is one of the Asynjur goddesses attested in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda (13th c.) — Gylfaginning chapter 35. She guards the doors of halls against those who should not enter, and she is invoked as the goddess of denial in legal defense — the foundational Norse divine witness in court cases where the accused declares innocence. Foundational figure in Norse legal-religious tradition alongside Var (covenants), Vor (truth), and Snotra (wisdom).
