From the Old Norse völu-, vǫlv-, genitive of vǫlva (“truth-sayer, staff-carrier, prophetess”). (Cognate with the Gothic walus, Old English wala, walu, Old Frisian walu.) Vǫlva is from vǫlr (“rounded staff”), from Proto-Germanic *waluz (“staff, stick”); possibly from Proto-Indo-European *wel- (“to turn”).
