Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: The wise one

Mimir is a boy's name of Scandinavian origin. During the war between the Vanir and Aesir in Norse mythology, Mimir was beheaded by the Vanir keeping him hostage and his head was used as a message to the Aesir. However, if your interest in the name comes from the wise and witty figurehead—get it?—from God of War, we completely understand! Mimir is a guide in more ways than just physical directions, often taking the role of thoughtful-middle-man bridging the gap between Kratos and Atreus. Mimir is kindness and cleverness embodied, and giving baby such inspiration, and a gorgeous game, to look to is an excellent birthday present.
