Berglind is an Icelandic female given name, derived from the Old Norse elements bjǫrg "help, salvation" and lind "linden tree, lime tree, shield". This combination of elements, meaning "salvation-shield" or "help-lime", reflects a tradition in Norse naming of creating compound names with protective or auspicious connotations. The name is relatively modern, coming into use in the 1930s and 1940s in Iceland. It is distinct from the Swedish surname Berglind, which originated as a habitational or topographic name. Notable bearers include Berglind Ásgeirsdóttir (born 1955), Icelandic ambassador to Russia, and Ása Berglind Hjálmarsdóttir (born 1984), Icelandic politician.
