The Younger Edda; Also called Snorre's Edda, or The Prose Edda

Note 123 — Chapter IV

Rasmus Björn Anderson translation

Sigtun. Sige, Ger. Sieg, (comp. Sigfrid,) means victory, and is one of Odin’s names; tun means an inclosure, and is the same word as our modern English town. Thus Sigtun would, in modern English, be called Odinstown; like our Johnstown, Williamstown, etc.
