Norwegian male names and meanings - choosing the best name for a boy. Scandinavian surnames (Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish) List of common Norwegian names for boys

When deciding to use a Norwegian name for your child, you should remember the following::

Eventually Norwegian names are divided into the following types:

1. Common Germanic or common Scandinavian origin(Olav, Bjorn, Knut, Henrik, etc.).
2. Borrowed from other languages or those who came to Norway along with Christianity or people from other countries (Patrick, Alexander or Alexander, etc.). There are even borrowings from our language: the Norwegian name Vanya is exactly Vanya.
3. Originally Norwegian, which have no analogues in other languages. There are very few such names due to the fact that the Scandinavian languages ​​are extremely close - and even because of the regularly emerging fashion for “ old names"They are not so easy to find.

   In fact, the only widely famous example Such a male name is Willeman (or Filleman) - it is recorded in the Old Scandinavian ballad “Villeman and Manhild”, first recorded in Norway.

In general, we can say: it is extremely difficult to distinguish Norwegian male names from, say, Danish or Swedish: the general culture and general history leaves its mark.

How to choose for a boy?

In cases where parents want to use a Norwegian name for their son, they need to know on what principles it was given in the first place. Here's what you need to remember:

In general, names in Norway were given in the same way as throughout pre-Christian Europe, where there were no calendars or lists of revered saints.

List of beautiful options and their meaning

If the parents' heart lies in the edge of rocks and fjords, and they want to give their son a Norwegian name, they should remember the following names.

Since in Norway there is no single standard of pronunciation, but there are a bunch of dialects, and many people willingly use Danish and Swedish options, the transcription below is approximate.

1. Agnar– the origin of this name is unclear. It can mean either “Keeping from quarrels, strife” or “Protecting with a sword.”
2. Adalbjorg. Consists of two roots meaning “Chief, noble, outstanding” and “Keep, save, protect.”
3. Alling (Boathouse)- “Descendant of the jarl, the leader.”
4. Alv (Alf)- “Elf.” IN Scandinavian mythology elves were associated with magic, both good and evil. Therefore, surprises and surprises should be expected from a child with this name. Alf may also be short for Alfred.
5. Anbjorg (Arnbjorg)– literally translated as “Protector Eagle”.
6. Bardi- “Bearded.” In ancient times, a beard was considered a sign of vitality and a symbol of age and experience. It is no wonder that many Norwegians, even at the birth of their son, wanted him to grow a long and beautiful beard.
7. Bjorn (Bjorn)– “Bear.” This name was usually given by parents to their son, whom they wanted to see strong. It can be either independent or part of compound names (such as “Asbjorn” - “Bear of the Aesir” (deities of the Scandinavian pantheon), “Torbjorn” - “Bear of Thor” (thunder god), etc.).

   This word has been preserved in the Norwegian language, but has long been perceived primarily as a human name. As a result, nicknames like Hrossbjorn or Igulbjorn (“Horse-Bear” and “Hedgehog-Bear”, respectively) began to form in pre-Christian times.

8. Vermand- “Protector of people.”
9. William– Norwegian version of the common German name “Wilhelm”. It consists of words meaning “will, fate” - and “helmet, protection”. In general, native speakers are usually characterized by calmness, hard work and talent, but some isolation is possible.
10. Henrik (or Henrik, in some dialects – Henning). Its base is also ancient Germanic and means “rich house.” This name was usually given to their sons by those parents who wanted to wish them success and wealth.
11. Dagfrey. Depending on the spelling, it can be translated as “Calm Day” or “Beautiful Day.” A fitting name for the long-awaited heir.
12. Dagmar. Compound name, the first root is the same - “Day”. The second means “Great, famous, shrouded in glory.” Better known in Russia female uniform- Dagmara.
13. Didrik. Norwegian version the ancient Germanic name "Theodoric", roughly translated as "Rich and powerful leader of the people."
14. Ivar (Iver). The name is derived from the words meaning “Yew” (or bow made from yew wood) and “Warrior, protector”.
15. Ingar (Ingvar). Literally translated, “Ing the Guardian.” Ing is one of the names of the Scandinavian god Frey, the patron saint of fertility and agriculture.
16. Ingdor. Literally - “Ing and Thor”. Parents gave this name to a boy for whom they wanted the protection of two great deities.
17. Magnus(from Latin "Great"). This name should be given to a son from whom his parents expect great success and achievements.
18. Nurman– literally translated “Man from the North.” It is better known in the common German version "Norman".
19. Niort– one of the “dark” names. His exact value unknown, but judging by the consonance, it can be assumed that in ancient times it meant “strong, powerful.” A name similar in sound (Njord) in mythology is borne by the god of the sea and storms.
20. Niol- a name borrowed by the Norwegians from their not closest neighbors, the Scots. In Scottish Gaelic it is derived from a word meaning "Cloud".
21. Odbjorn (Odbjorn)– the name is one of the compounds and is literally translated as “bear of the peak, peak” or as “bear of the tip” (sword or spear). This name is suitable for a future warrior. The name comes from two Old Norse words meaning “peak” (as well as “point of a spear or sword”) and “bear”.
22. Olav (Olaf, Olaf)- “heir, descendant.” A popular male name in Scandinavian countries. It doesn’t say anything about its bearer, except that the parents were happy about the birth of their son.
23. Ole- This is a variant of the above name “Olav”, but it has already passed through the Danish language, and therefore is considered more modern.
24. Oliver (or Alvar). The origin of the name is unclear, although modern form it is borrowed from England. Some experts derive it from the ancient German “Albheri” - “Warrior of the Elves”. In this case, it should be assumed that the bearer of the name is prone to daydreaming and fantasies - but at the same time persistent and persistent.

    On the other hand, many believe that it goes back to the Latin “olivarius” - “oily, olive”. In this case, a boy with this name should be considered slippery, resourceful and persistent in achieving his goal.

25. Sigbjerg- “Guardian of victory, winner.” Such a name is not given just like that. At a minimum, parents expect from their son great success in the path he chooses for his life.
26. Sigur (in Norwegian dialects and colloquially – Sjur). Similar in meaning to the name Sigbjorg, but means rather “Guardian of Victory” or “Guardian of Victory.” In Russia it is better known in the German version - Siegfried. Also in Norway such forms of this name are used as Siver, Sivert, Syver. The Norwegian name Sigsten has the same meaning.
27. Sindre- “Shining.” Taken from mythology: this was the name of the dwarf (gnome), who won a dispute with the god Loki about who was better at blacksmithing.
28. Sven (also Svenn or Svein)– literally translated “young man, boy.” In ancient times it could be either a child's name for someone who had not yet earned an honorary nickname, or part of compound names (such as "Svenbjorn" - "Young Bear").
29. Skulle- “He who hides hides.”
30. Snurre (Snorre)- “Attack, attack.”
31. Tengel. IN ancient poetry this word was used to call a ruler, prince, leader.
32. Ulv or Ulf- "Wolf". Like the bear, in pagan times this animal was considered dangerous - and therefore sacred and worthy of emulation. As with the name "Bjorn", compound names were often formed with this root (for example, "Hjorulf" - "Wolf of the Sword": beautiful name for a Viking, but hardly suitable for a modern boy).
33. Ulwe- oddly enough, it is no longer associated with the wolf. It is believed to come from a word meaning "luck".
34. Ulrik. It is also one of the ancient Germanic ones, but its origin is unclear. There are two versions of its interpretation: “Ruler of the Motherland” or “Wolf Leader”. In any case, such a name is given by parents who expect ambitions and a high destiny from their son.
35. Utto- "Wealth".
36. Finnr or Winn- “From among the Finns.” In the old days, this name was given to children born in the territory of neighbors (from Norway to the lands where they lived Finnish tribes- just a stone's throw away, and the Finns among the Swedes, Danes and Norwegians enjoyed a reputation as dangerous sorcerers and shamans, possessing unknown powers).
37. Hallgrim. Derived from words meaning “Rock” and “Mask, mask, helmet covering the face.”
38. Hirre(or Hurre) - “Calm, quiet.”
39. Ferret. As funny as it sounds in Russian, translated from Norwegian it means “High Ruler.”
40. Schöll– literally translated as “Shield”.
41. Abbe- “Boar”.
42. Egmund– from words meaning “Blade of the Sword” and “Hand, Protection.”
43. Eric- An Old Norse name meaning "Noble Leader." It is usually given to sons by ambitious parents. How well their son will live up to their hopes is, alas, impossible to say in advance.
44. South Africa– derived from words meaning “Horse” and “Warrior, Protector.” Fit for a future knight.
45. Yardar- “Defender of the land, country.”

The choice of a Norwegian name for a son usually indicates that his parents are inclined to the exotic - but at the same time admire the northern character and courage. Well, this is not the worst choice, especially considering that many Norwegian names are very beautiful, and their meanings are fraught with a wonderful destiny for a child.

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character, aura and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?

Despite the fact that there are cultural interpretations of what male names mean, in reality the influence of the name on each boy is individual.

Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.

Calendars of Christmastide, holy people, without consulting a seeing, insightful specialist, do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.

And lists of ... popular, happy, beautiful, melodious male names completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, soul of the child and turn the selection procedure into an irresponsible game of parents in fashion, selfishness and ignorance.

Beautiful and modern Norwegian names should primarily suit the child, and not relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.

Various characteristics according to statistics - positive features name, negative traits name, choice of profession by name, the influence of a name on business, the influence of a name on health, the psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of subtle plans (karma), energy structure, life goals and the type of a particular child.

The topic of name compatibility (and not people’s characters) is an absurdity that turns interactions inside out different people internal mechanisms of influence of a name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.

The meaning of the name has no literal impact. For example, Vazha (courageous, knight) this does not mean that the young man will be strong, and bearers of other names will be weak. The name can weaken his health, block his heart center and he will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another boy will be helped to solve problems of love or power, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third boy may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics.

The most popular Norwegian names for boys are also misleading. 95% of boys are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only rely on the child’s innate character, spiritual vision and wisdom of an experienced specialist.

The secret of a man's name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration, is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of the name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.

Below is a list of Norwegian names. Try to choose several that you think are most suitable for your child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate, .

Switch to the value of life

In Norway, there is a belief that a person’s future is closely connected with the name he was given when he was born. It is this that acts as the initial characteristic of a newborn and directs its carrier to certain actions throughout life.

Name in Norway

Scandinavians, or Vikings, as the Norwegians are often called, have very peculiar traditions and national culture, which is in no way similar to the customs or concepts of other peoples. These differences are most visible in the ritual of naming newborns. When in all countries of the world a child was given a name immediately after birth, in Norway the nickname was given after several days, during the baptism ritual. Usually the newborn was named after the name of the relative who was the most beloved and respected in this family.

It is not always the case that a person who received a Norwegian name in childhood carried it throughout his life. At first, the parents called the child by the nickname they would like to see him in the future, for example, the boy was named Froud (wise), and the girl Erna (skillful). Such names could also be phrases:

• Ofeig – not doomed to die;
• Trausti – trustworthy;
• Magnhild is a mighty battle.

Often, by giving a name, parents “rewarded” their child with health, tenderness, strength and endurance. Such nicknames include men's Klepp (rock) or Stein (stone) and women's Aslaug (flame), Grese (pearl).

Values

The main occupation of the Vikings was war, so Norwegian names were often created from associations with fighting spirit, the ability to kill, and the ability to be a defender. So, boys were often called:

• Edgill is a small sword;
• Hevartr is a tall defender;
• Vigi - fighter, warrior;
• Woland - battlefield;
• Galbrandra is the sword of the gods.

The girls’ nicknames were just as warlike: Vigdis – “goddess of war”, Volkiri – “she who chooses the dead”, Gunnvor – “warrior”, Sigrflod – “girl of victory”.

The Norwegians, like many other nations, believed that any animal could be a talisman in war, if it was worshiped correctly, because only in this way could its totemic unity with man arise. One of the ways of veneration was the custom of calling already adult people a type of animal, giving them so-called nicknames.

Often, a nickname was given to a Varangian for his external resemblance to one or another animal or bird. But there are also cases described in history when a nickname was given for identity internal qualities human and animal. Among these totemic nicknames, the most popular were the male Birnir (bear), Hauk (hawk), Hravn (raven), Hundi (dog) and the female Birna (bear), Svana (swan), Hravna (crow).

Norwegians also consider the birch tree to be a talisman, from the name of which they derived beautiful names Birkir or Bjork

The Scandinavians believed that by calling their child by the nickname of a deceased relative, parents prophesied the same fate for him. But these people also believed in the transmigration of souls. Therefore, when giving a name, the mother and father very carefully weighed the pros and cons: did they want the deceased ancestor to be reborn in their child, or long life their child was more important to them.

Popular names

The Varangians very often had such names as Herd, which means “a man from Hordaland in Norway”, Smid - “blacksmith”, Svein - “servant boy”, Gro - “she who grows”. Nicknames of this nature indicated social status, a person’s occupation, country of origin. Also, the basis of the name could be the area of ​​outstanding knowledge and skills of a person, for example, Kolgrim (black sorcerer) is a nickname that was given to skilled healers.

With the advent of Christianity, ancient Scandinavian nicknames were still used for a long time, but the Catholic clergy adopted a decree according to which children should be named only according to the calendar, so a wave of foreign (Greek, Roman, Jewish) nicknames swept through Norway. But over time they began to change them and adapt them to the sound of Scandinavian nicknames: Margrethe (Margarita), Lars (Laurenty), Peter (Peter).

Now in Norway, along with ancient Scandinavian names, nicknames of European and Arab origin. So, back in 2008, among male nicknames in Norway, the male name Muhammad was very popular, and among female nicknames, Maria, Sophia and Emily.

Last year, at the top of popularity were male nicknames - Emil, Lukas and Matthias, as well as female nicknames - Nora and Sarah.

But the name Andre lost its popularity in 2012 due to a terrorist attack that happened in Norway, the culprit of which was a man nicknamed Andre. Although before this, for several decades, every 15th boy was named one.

Norwegian male names are names with Old Norse roots common to the rest of the North Germanic peoples and variants borrowed from different periods time at different nations. Scandinavian names form the basis of the Norwegian onomasticon, often derived from Germanic and Swedish names.

The names of pre-Christian paganism reflected the plots of ancient German-Scandinavian myths, where the main characters were national deities and mythical creatures- elves, the god of thunder and lightning Thor, the god of fertility Ing, etc.: Gandalf - “elf wand”, Ingvar - “warrior Ing”, Torger - “spear of Thor”. Also, Norwegian male names and their meanings could indicate a certain character trait, one that the parents wanted to see in the child (Sel - “happy”, Njordr - “strong, energetic”). Often the personal name became the name of the area where the owner was born (Crosby - “from the city with crosses”), surrounding objects (Latham - “barn”), animals, birds (Ormond - “snake”). Many names come from the names of sacred animals: Ingolf - “Inga's wolf”, Torbjorn - “Thor's bear”.

When choosing a name for their son, the parents tried to convey to him such qualities as strength and endurance: Klepp - “rock”, Stein - “stone”. The main thing for boys in the Viking era was to grow up to be a good warrior and a brave defender, which was also reflected in personal names and wishes (Woland - “battlefield”, Ormarr - “army of the snake”, Sigerdr - “guardian of victory”).

In the 10th century, thanks to the spread of Christianity, religious names: Greek, Hebrew, Roman, Latin. The list of Norwegian male names is enriched with names from the Bible and Catholic calendars, often adapted to the peculiarities of the Norwegian language: Mats - from Jewish name Matvey (“God’s gift”), Mikael – from Michael (“who is like God”), Alexander, Sander, Alex – from Greek Alexander(“protector of people”).

The Norwegian onomasticon consists of a large number of borrowed names. In addition to Christian ones, these are common European names of different origins: German, English, French, Italian, Arabic, etc. Some names are borrowed from neighboring countries: Sweden, Finland, Russia.

Beautiful male names for Norwegians

Many beautiful Norwegian male names are original and attractive with their strict northern beauty. In addition to their euphony, they have a hidden meaning: Adney - “eagle island”, Vaughan - “hope”, Hammond - “under the protection of ancestors”, Trigg - “worthy of trust”. There are also many Scandinavian names interesting options: Olav – “heir”, Axel – “shoulder”. However, Norwegians use not only national names, but also actively borrow beautiful foreign names: Oliver, Liam, Philip, Oscar, Sebastian.

Popular Norwegian male names

European names of different origins are increasingly becoming popular Norwegian names for boys: French, English, German, Greek and Latin (William, Emil, Lucas, Tobias, Henrik). Christian and biblical names adapted to the Norwegian language are still relevant: Noah (Noah), Matthias (Matthew), Jacob (Jacob), Jan (John). Of the national and Scandinavian names, the most common options are Lars, Knut, Bjorn, Sven, Magnus.

Modern trends

Currently, Norwegian legislation allows citizens of the country to choose any name for their newborn. More often than not, Norwegians stop at European names, traditional Christian names and forms derived from them. Ancient male Norse names are also used, but somewhat less frequently.

Beautiful male and female Norwegian names are a real find for modern parents. They meet all the requirements that people set when naming a child. The names that Norwegians use have a very beautiful and original sound. Lars, Bjerg, Mats, Oliver, Noura - these words are pleasant to the ear and, at the same time, easy to remember. In addition, modern Norwegian names for boys and girls are not at all trivial. They sound very bright and unusual.

However, these are not all the advantages that the Norwegian name book has. It is distinguished not only by its unique sound, but also by its amazing deep meaning. The meaning of most Norwegian first and last names is associated with such categories as victory, battle, weapons and courage. Such content is an echo of the Viking era, during which overcoming the enemy was considered the main life goal of a person. Names for sacred animals are also popular in Norway. In addition, there is a tradition here to name a child according to the calendar. In view of this, many happy women and male Norwegian names have religious significance.

Features of choosing male and female Norwegian names

When choosing a beautiful Norwegian name for a girl or boy, you need to pay attention to several factors at once. The first criterion is sound. It should be beautiful and original, but at the same time, not too extravagant for Russian society. It is also important to determine the meaning of the name you like. It must correspond to the character traits that parents want to cultivate in their child.

When choosing a popular Norwegian name for a boy or girl, you should also know it correct pronunciation. There are many dialects in Norway. Because of this, the same name can sound different.
