Sondre Origin and Meaning

The name Sondre is a boy's name.

Sondre is a Scandinavian male name, particularly popular in Norway. It derives from the Old Norse name 'Sundri,' which is related to the word for 'south' or 'southern.' Historically, it likely referred to someone from the southern part of a region. The name has a strong Nordic heritage and carries connotations of direction and place. In modern Norway, Sondre has enjoyed consistent popularity since the late 20th century, appreciated for its distinctly Norwegian character and straightforward pronunciation.
