Norse names come from Old Norse, the language of Scandinavia during the Viking era and medieval period. Many arrived in England after the Norse invasions, which is why Brenda, Kelsey, and Erica sound familiar even today—they've been anglicized and absorbed into English-speaking cultures. Others remained more recognizably Scandinavian, tied to the gods, the seasons, or the qualities a parent wanted their child to inherit.
You'll find names from Old Norse mythology and daily life side by side: Erik carries the meaning of eternal ruler, while Ollie comes from a line of ancestry names that held real significance in Norse society. Each entry here shows the meaning and origin, so you can see the Norse tradition alive in the name itself—whether it's been smoothed by English use or kept closer to its Scandinavian roots.
