- Ragnor
Description:

Historically, Ragnar Lothbrok was a legendary Viking hero and king. The name Ragnor evokes images of strength, courage, and leadership. Its popularity has seen modest increases in recent years, possibly due to interest in Viking history and Norse mythology, as well as the influence of popular culture like the television series 'Vikings.' Ragnor offers parents a name with historical depth and a powerful presence while remaining relatively uncommon in modern usage.
