The name comes from Norse mythology. Alruna (Ölrún in Old Norse) was one of the three Valkyries who spun linen on the shores of the Lake of Wolves. She was spotted by three brothers living nearby, and she lived with Egil, one of the brothers, for seven winters until she flew away to fight, never to return.
