Origin: Norwegian

Meaning: Warm disposition; Summer

Your sweet summer child deserves a name just as warm and bright as they are, and Sommer seems like the shiny choice. Coming from the Norwegian sommer, Sommer describes a child with a "warm disposition" born in the rays of "summer." This name is also linked to the Midsummer festivals that happen worldwide, particularly in the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Norway. Here, bonfires are lit to ward off evil spirits, a tradition dating back to the 4th century, as the Norwegians celebrate Sankthans and mark the Summer solstice on the evening of the 23rd of June. Whether your little one loves to bask in the sun or was born during this festival, Sommer makes a delightful connection to this carefree, relaxing season.
