There is some doubt whether we in fact know who the wife of King Malcolm II of Scotland is.

For example:
https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/21627/who-is-the-wife...lcolm-ii-of-scotland
The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy suggests her name was not known and Scottish Kings 1005-1625 also makes no mention of her name.

However, according to:

Ælfgifu 'edith' (Algiva) Sigurdsdóttir Of Ossory Lady of Atholl is the wife of Malcolm II. The Source Citation is stated as:
