What Wikipedia says

The hamingja was a type of female guardian spirit in Norse mythology. It was believed that she accompanied a person and decided their luck and happiness. Hamingja is used primarily in the abstract sense. Consequently, the name was also used to indicate happiness, and that is what it means in modern Icelandic.
