Origin and Meaning

The name Ragnar is a boy's name of nordic origin meaning “army rule”.

Ragnar is a powerful name rooted deeply in Viking history, combining 'ragin,' meaning counsel, and 'hari,' meaning army. This duality of wisdom and strength gives the name a commanding presence. Ragnar Lodbrok, the legendary Norse hero, is perhaps the most famous bearer, his tales of conquest and adventure immortalized in saga and television alike. The name is strong and almost regal, perfect for parents who wish to instill leadership and boldness. While it isn’t used as often in daily life today, its cultural resonance makes it eternally appealing, especially for those drawn to the epic tales of Norse lore.
