Norse girl names have the strength of the Northern sea and remain loved worldwide. Coming from Scandinavia, these beautiful picks have a natural charm. Let’s explore highlights before diving into our collection.
Norse girl names are widespread in use, but few crack the top of the baby name charts. Little Mia has done just that, with this pint-sized powerhouse entering the top ten with ease. Trailing her in popularity are Freya and Kaia, two gorgeous girls with endless potential. Dahlia is another favorite, as the floral find is beautiful but hardly overused. You might recognize Kiersten and Erika, too. They were once classroom staples but have since cooled enough to feel fresh again.
Many Norse girl names are rare today and waiting for rediscovery. Tova is our all-star in this area, as this name meaning “beautiful Thor” has a mix of softness and strength. Alva is another standout who we think has plenty of room to grow. Other rare treasures include Britta, Albina, and Asta. When browsing our list, check out the popularity field to see how common a name is in the U.S.
Norse girl names are chameleons in age. Despite most having ancient origins, many still feel modern and bright. There’s Liv, a petite pick who today is commonly used as a nickname for Olivia. We think she wears well on her own, too. Hallie is another who feels on trend. Vintage name lovers are also in luck, with monikers like Brenda and Ingrid waiting.
Meanings are a side of Norse girl names that we’re wild about. Strength is a common theme, with Ursa’s “little she-bear” expertly mixing power and sweetness. Kinda means “greatest champion,” while the lovely Lova means “battle noise.” You could go for beauty, with Astrid’s “fair, beautiful goddess,” or go sweet with Humla’s “bumblebee” or Tippi’s “sweetheart.”
As you can see, Norse girl names are mighty and beautiful. See what gems you find within our collection.
