Origin:Norwegian
Other Origin(s):Norse
Meaning:Home of the warrior; Army's shelter
From their earliest years, you'll give little Reidar the space they need to grow, thrive, and learn new things. This masculine moniker is the Norwegian form of Hreiðarr, an Old Norse title with definitions that might just describe the trust between you and your child. Deriving from the elements hreiðr, meaning "home" or "shelter," and herr, meaning "warrior" or "army," Reidar translates to "home of the warrior" or "army's shelter." While these endearments could represent your and Reidar's actual home and community, they could also symbolize the freedom and confidence you'll instill in your newest addition. Whether they want to attempt their first brave steps or do a task all by themselves, your Reidar will know that you'll always encourage them to take a chance
