About Agnar

A strong, distinctive name, also written as Agnarr, Agnar could be derived from the Norse agi (meaning "awe, fear"), agn (meaning "punishment"), or egg (meaning "edge of the sword"). Blended with the element herr ("army, warrior"), it may then be interpreted as "fearsome warrior" or "warrior of the sword edge".

Notably borne by the Norwegian author, Agnar Mykle, it also appears in Disney's Frozen franchise, the father of Anna and Elsa. In this case, it's spelled as Agnarr (or Agðar), possibly giving it the additional meaning of "good".

Pronounced AHNG-nar.
