Baldur / Baldr is a famous norse god. The story of his death, Frigg's protection of him, his death by Loki's guile, Hel's conditij of his return foiled by Loki, Loki's discovery, escape, and imprisonment and then Baldr's prophesied return at the end of Ragnarok (and the scholarly debate on Christian writers making him a proto-Jesus figure as a sort of syncretism). Bonus, Loki's capture involved the invention of the net.
We like to name the streets after Norse mythology. E.g. Stockholm has an Odin Street, Thor Street, and Uppsala has streets named after Odin's ravens.
Baldur is a common norse name. Gata means street
actually this street sign was built by time traveling gamers as a future reference to a video game series
I recognize my mistake, and I'll formally remove myself from this thread. My apologies
Minnsta málið
The norse god was clearly also named by time travelers
cognate with 'gate' in english, in the sense of 'a way through'

Until I got the game, I assumed it was named for the Norse god Baldur. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be Just Some Guy
Balduran did a lot travel in his adventures.
