About Scandinavian names

Scandinavian names descend from Old Norse, where names invoked gods, strength, and the sea, and were often built from two joined elements. The modern Nordic taste, though, runs crisp and minimal — short, clear names like Astrid, Soren, Freya, and Nils. That combination of Viking backbone and clean-lined simplicity is exactly what draws American parents to them now.

Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
