Gun
gun
Origin:Swedish
Meaning:Battle, war
Gun is a blazing feminine name of Swedish, Old Norse, and German origin. Meaning “battle” or “war,” Gun stems from the Old Norse word gunnr. Variants like Gunn and Gunnr have also arisen, but there's something simple and striking about this three-lettered moniker! We don't want to jump the gun when we say that a name like this would help baby face every obstacle head-on and with strength.
