Hacon Origin and Meaning

The name Hacon is a boy's name.

Hacon is a masculine name of Old Norse origin, derived from 'Hákon' which combines 'há' (high) and 'konr' (son, descendant), thus meaning 'high son' or 'of noble birth'. Historically, it was borne by several Norwegian kings and earls during the Viking Age and medieval period. The anglicized form Hacon is less common than variants like Haakon or Håkon which remain popular in Scandinavian countries. This name carries connotations of leadership, nobility, and Nordic heritage. Hacon has a strong, distinctive sound that appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth and uncommon usage in English-speaking countries. Its Viking associations evoke images of strength and adventure.
