Harrald
Harrald Origin and Meaning
Harrald is a masculine name with strong Norse and Germanic roots, representing a variant spelling of Harald or Harold. The name combines ancient Germanic elements meaning "army" and "ruler" or "power," essentially translating to "army commander" or "military leader." This powerful name has been borne by kings and warriors throughout Scandinavian history, including Harald Fairhair, the first king of Norway. The distinctive double 'r' spelling gives the name a unique visual character while maintaining its traditional pronunciation. Harrald conveys strength, leadership, and a connection to Nordic heritage. While less common than Harald or Harold in modern usage, Harrald appeals to parents seeking a name with historical weight and a slightly uncommon spelling that still feels familiar and pronounceable.
