Meaning: Shielded by the eagle

If your little warrior arrives with a battle cry, here's the perfect name for the occasion! Arnborg is a gender-neutral name meaning "shielded by the eagle." This Swiss respelling of Old Norse Arnbjǫrg combines _arn_, meaning "eagle," and _borg_, meaning "to protect." In Norse mythology, the eagle is one of three birds of Odin and symbolizes strength and the battlefield. Baby will have the heart of an eagle, guarding their dreams and fiercely protecting the ones they hold dear! The popularity of Norse names—like Arnborg—can be traced back to a medieval migration. Legends tell of a group of Swedes and Frisians fleeing famine who settled in the Swiss Alps.
