Meaning: Godly bear; God gave me the strength as a bear

A masculine name of Norse origin, Esbern might just remind your little one of all the strength they have within them. When translated directly from Old Norse, Esbern means “godly bear,” two words that are not typically linked together! Several sources mention the symbolic meaning of Esbern, “God gave me the strength as a bear,” which could resonate more with you and your little warrior. Esbern was also the name of the infamous chieftain, royal chancellor, and crusader, Esbern the Resolute, a figure of Danish legend that your little one can read about.
