Brimir

Said with a strong first syllable and a gentle second on, this name is a sea inspired choice comes from the Old Norse brim meaning "surf, surf", giving it a rugged feel. Other sources suggest it could also mean "sword" and is a variation of the giant Ymir from Norse Mythology.

First appearing as a given name in the mid 20th century, it is a quietly used name in Iceland and the Faroe Islands, that's not to be confused with the similar Brímir, meaning "fire".

Brimir appears as one of the main characters in the 2015 novel The Story of the Blue Planet by Andri Snaer Magnason.

Pronounced BRIM-ir.
