"fortunate victor, island of victory"

Øyvind Origin and Meaning

The name øyvind is a boy's name meaning "fortunate victor, island of victory".

A more contemporary form of the Old Norse name Eyvindr. In Norway, this is a traditional and old-fashioned choice, having been in the Top 100 baby boy names every year from 1945 to 1999. From a non-Norwegian perspective, this name has a fresh sound reminiscent of 21st century favourites like Aiden and Ava, but the pronunciation and spelling would be tricky for English speakers. Eyvind or Eyvin may be more appealing spellings for parents looking to honour Norwegian heritage.
