Galten Origin and Meaning

The name Galten is a boy's name.

Galten is an uncommon masculine name with possible Scandinavian or Germanic origins. In Danish and Norwegian, 'galten' means 'the boar,' suggesting connections to Nordic naming traditions where animal attributes symbolized strength and courage. Alternatively, it may derive from Old Germanic elements or represent a rare surname-turned-first-name. The name remains extremely uncommon in contemporary usage across all countries. Those familiar with Scandinavian languages might associate Galten with qualities traditionally attributed to boars in Norse culture—bravery, ferocity, and protection. The name's rarity gives it a distinctive quality for parents seeking truly unique options with potential northern European heritage connections.
