The name Rúnar is a boy's name of Icelandic origin meaning "warrior of lore".

An Icelandic name made up of Norse elements but more recently invented, Rúnar is a distinctive choice with a hint of adventure about it. Appearing as Runar in Norway, it blends rún meaning "secret lore, rune" withherr meaning "army, warrior", giving it the storybook meanings of "warrior of lore, warrior of runes."
 
Familiar but not overly popular in Iceland, notable bearers include footballers Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson and Rúnar Már Sigurjónsson.
