Björk means "a birch tree" in Icelandic (the meaning of Icelandic names is often transparent), cognate with Old English beorc and the modern English word. Though many English-speakers pronounce her name "Byork", a more accurate approximation would be "Byerk", which she has pointed out rhymes with "jerk." Guðmundsdóttir is pronounced roughly "GWUTH-muns-doe-tir," and means "Guðmundur's daughter."
