Finding the perfect baby name can feel like an impossible task, but our list of unique Norman names is here to help you with your search.
The Normans were a group of Vikings from Scandinavia that settled in France, before invading England in the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066. They conquered England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, as well as most of the south part of Italy, and the island of Sicily.
The Normans adopted the French language when they moved into Normandy, so a lot of Norman baby names sound similar to French names. One of the most famous Normans in the United Kingdom is the Viking Rollo, who has a strong reputation across Scotland and Ireland. The Norman people are known for their pirate origins, their skills at fighting and their great courage - just a few powerful traits that may be passed onto your little one with these Norman names. We hope their unique history inspires courage, strength and independence in your new baby.
A huge part of British history, Norman names hit the peak of their popularity in the '20s, which means a lot of them have a classic vintage English feel. If you're in the market for unique baby names with a French or English ring to them, our Norman baby names may be the perfect inspiration.
