About the name Solveig
Solveig is Ibsen's faithfully waiting woman in Peer Gynt, made permanent by Grieg's aching song of the same name. The final G is barely voiced in Norwegian, which is most of the reason it has stayed a Scandinavian secret.
Solveig is a girl name of Norse origin, pronounced SOL-vay. On the NameRarity scale it scores 96 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1900s.
