Meaning & Origin of Ragna
Meaning: Counsel.
Origin: Old Norse.
A common claim: "divine counsel" (one article) / "wise, decision" (another) Actually: 'Wise, decision' overstates the sourced root, which is simply 'counsel'; 'divine counsel' is a closer, defensible rendering since the same Old Norse element is also linked to 'the ruling powers/gods.'
