Hallgeir
ha-ll-geir
Origin:Norse
Meaning:Spear rock
Hallgeir is a masculine name for the little one whose confidence and fearlessness are their greatest weapons. A variant of Hallgeirr, Hallgeir has Old Norse origins, making it a moniker once borne by Vikings. It derives from hallr and geirr, two Old Norse elements that translate to "spear rock." While this definition may refer to a medieval fighting tool, it can symbolically represent your tiny tot's sharp attitude. Every time your Hallgeir sets an ambitious goal or holds their own with resolve, you'll see their "weapons" on full display.
