Etymology of WALKYRS

The word "Walkyrs" is a variant spelling of the term "Valkyries", which is derived from Norse mythology. The etymology of the term goes back to Old Norse, where "valkyrja" (plural: "valkyrjur") was used to refer to a mythical female figure. The word can be broken down into "valr" meaning "slain warriors" and "kyrja" meaning "chooser". Therefore, "Valkyries" or "Walkyrs" in the plural form refers to the "chooser of the slain" in Norse mythology, as these female figures were believed to choose which warriors would die in battle and be brought to Valhalla by Odin.
