The word “Valkyrie” ('chooser of the slain') is rooted in ancient words that mean “those Slain in Battle (Valhalla) + to Choose (to Taste).”
'Val-kyrie'—"Kyrie" ... I wonder if that's related to the popular church-hymn's Latin "Kyrie- (Christe- Kyrie-) Eleison" ... hmm—not exactly: I think it means something more like 'one with the Authority to choose "who gets into Valhalla".'
