Ultimately from Old Norse non Áshildr, from Proto-Germanic gem-pro *Ansuhildiz, equivalent to non áss god; one of the Æsir + non hildr battle, literally “god-battle”.

The second element is from Proto-Germanic gem-pro *hildiz battle, fight; its deeper origin is uncertain, though derivation from Proto-Indo-European ine-pro *kelh₂- to hit, strike has been proposed.
