Sindri Origin and Meaning

The name Sindri is a boy's name of Scandinavian, Norse origin meaning "sparkling; someone who sprays sparks".

This sparkling name from Norse Mythology is borne by the blacksmith dwarf, who, along with his brother Brokkr, forged Thor's hammer Mjǫllnir and Odin's golden ring, Draupnir. Also known as Eitri in mythology, his name means "sparkling" or "someone who sprays sparks", likely in reference to his work with metal.

A rare choice in the US, Sindri appeared in the charts in Iceland in the 2010s, while Norwegian form Sindre was a Top 30 name in Norway during the 90s. Idiosyncratic Icelandic singer Bjork also chose for her son back in 1986.

Sindri is also an Indian place name, whose name comes from Hindi word sindoori meaning "vermillion" in reference to the color of the soil, though other sources suggest it could mean "ridge".
