Njord

Njord is a boy's name with Scandinavian roots. The meaning of Njord is 'north.' This would be a unique option for sea enthusiasts and fishermen because it rhymes with the name of the Norse deity of the sea. Presumably descended from the Indo-European root-ner-, which means 'strong, vigorous,' is the source of the Old Norse word Njǫrðr. Njörðr is mentioned in the 'Poetic Edda,' assembled in the 13th century from previous conventional sources, and the 'Prose Edda,' also recorded in the 13th century by famous Snorri Sturluson, in euhemerized version as an adored mythical early king of Sweden, Heimskringla. It was also authored by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, as among the three gods conjured up in the 'Hauksbók ring oath' of the 14th century. Njörðr shares a name with the more ancient Germanic goddess of fertility Nerthus from the early first c. AD. The Proto-Germanic theonym Neruz is the source of both names. Njord is also used as a surname, and Simon Njord is a well-known actor recognized for the work of 2007, 'Höök.'
