About the name Saga
Saga is a Scandinavian name taken from the Old Norse word saga, meaning story or tale, the term for the medieval prose narratives of Iceland and Norway. In Norse mythology Sága is a goddess who, according to the Prose Edda, drinks each day with Odin from golden cups at her hall Sökkvabekkr, meaning sunken bank. Her role is otherwise obscure, and some scholars link her with the goddess Frigg. In modern culture, Saga Norén is the lead detective in the Swedish and Danish crime drama The Bridge.
