Guntar Origin and Meaning

The name Guntar is a boy's name.

Guntar is a strong masculine name with Germanic origins, derived from elements meaning "battle" and "army" or "warrior." It's a variation of Gunther (also spelled Günther), a name that appears in medieval Germanic legend as a Burgundian king in the Nibelungenlied epic poem. The name carries connotations of strength, courage, and leadership. Guntar has remained relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries but may be found more frequently in Germanic regions and among families with German heritage. The name has a powerful, distinctive quality that evokes images of medieval knights and Norse mythology. Despite its ancient roots, Guntar has a bold, commanding presence that can work well in contemporary settings for parents seeking a masculine name with historical depth.
