Drengenavne

  1. Hugo
    • Origin:

      Latinized form of Hugh
    • Meaning:

      "mind, intellect"
    • Description:

      Hugo, the Latin form of Hugh, has more heft and energy than the original -- and of course we love names that end (or begin, for that matter) with an o. This one is especially appealing because it's backed up by lots of solid history and European style.
  2. Oscar/Oskar
    • Rodolphe
      • Description:

        Rodolphe is the French form of the Germanic name Rudolf, composed of the elements 'hrod' meaning 'fame' and 'wulf' meaning 'wolf.' This sophisticated masculine name carries an air of European elegance and aristocratic heritage. Throughout history, Rodolphe has been borne by various nobility, including Rodolphe I of Habsburg, the first Habsburg King of Germany. While more common in French-speaking regions like France, Switzerland, and parts of Canada, it remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries. The name evokes images of refinement and cultural sophistication, often associated with the arts, particularly after Puccini's opera 'La Bohème' featured a character named Rodolphe.
    • Thor
      • Origin:

        Norse and Scandinavian
      • Meaning:

        "thunder"
      • Description:

        Thor, the powerful name of the Norse god of thunder, strength and rain, would make a bold statement. Long a comic book staple, Thor has now invaded the big screen, and could land on birth certificates as well.
