Use this Name Generator to find real Viking or Old Norse names for your next story or gaming character, or other creative projects.

Bynames (nicknames) were quite common, and were added before or after the given name (or even used alone). Note that some of these names were quite vulgar, be prepared for course language!

These are suggestions to inspire you. If using a name, always doublecheck it’s spelling and usage in its native language if wanting to use it in the “real” world. If you are naming a fantasy character, try playing with the options provided with different pronunciations or spellings to make something uniquely yours.

Have fun!
