As vikings dominate television and the silver screen, viking names for girls continue to rise from obscurity. Given to those who took to the sea to battle, these names are gritty and powerful. History is mixed on vikings, but the names they’ve left behind are beautiful and fit for a little explorer.
Since the infamous sea travelers hailed from the region, it’s no surprise that most viking girl names are Scandinavian. By nature, these names are strong in sound, like Gunilda, meaning “battle maid,” and Urszull, meaning “little she-bear.” Some are more versatile to other languages, like Dagny, meaning “new day” and Astri’s “star.” Our viking girl name to watch is Lova, a sweet rhyming twin to Nova, meaning “battle noise.” That isn’t to say that many Germanic and Slavic names don’t fit in with viking girl names, like Ilke or Gerde.
Most notably, female viking names have strong meanings behind them. These are names made with power and fit brave little girls tremendously. If you have a pint-sized fighter, check out Thyra, meaning “Thor’s battle,” or Ulla, meaning “determination.” Ebbe means “strong,” while Vivika means “war fortress.” As you can see, viking names for girls don’t mess around when it comes to badass meanings.
It’s no surprise that ocean-themed meanings are common among female viking names too. Yulla’s “gem of the sea” meaning is the shining star of the bunch, and when paired with her gentle sound, it’s hard not to love her. Brenn is in a similar position, as her soft sound is reminiscent of the rising star Brynn, while her meaning “little drop of water,” is precious on a young girl who loves the sea.
Viking names for girls are tough cookies, and with one, your little warrior will be ready to conquer the seven seas.
