Astrild
Astrild (from
Old Norse
: "Love-fire") is an old
Nordic
name for Amor or
Cupid
. Astrild probably originated in the writings of the 17th century Swedish poet
Georg Stiernhielm
, and has since been used in Nordic poetry, mainly during the
Baroque
and
Rococo
eras. Astrild does not appear in
Norse mythology
; even though the name was used before Stiernhielm as a synonym for the
estrildid finches
.
