Solveig (SOL-vay) is a given name of scandinavic origin. Its meaning is somewhat contested because it is ancient and because it could be related to a few different words. In some accounts it is the name of the goddess in Norse Mythology who leads, or is pursued by, the Sun through the sky. In other accounts, the name means "path of the Sun" (suns way). Still other accounts indicate that the name is a compound of the two words, "salr" (meaning house) and "vaig" (meaning strong). So it is often translated as "woman of the house," "strong house," or "strong sun." Solveig is also a central character in Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt and the opera, based on the play, by Edvard Grieg. She sings the famous "Solveig's Song." Ibsen uses sun imagery in association to the character (scene 10, act 5), indicating that Ibsen may have favored the idea that the name is etymologically association to the Old Norse. Hehe, hope that helps =]
