Norse Mythology Dog Names, Names After Norse Gods and Goddesses
Sorted alphabetically. Sort by popularity »
Norse mythology dog names draw from the rich and dramatic world of Viking gods, legendary warriors, and epic tales from Scandinavian folklore. If you're captivated by the stories of Odin's wisdom, Thor's thunder, or Freya's beauty, these powerful names will give your dog an identity rooted in one of the most fascinating mythological traditions ever told.
This collection features names of Norse gods and goddesses like Thor, Odin, Freya, and Loki, alongside legendary figures like Ragnar, Sigurd, and Brynhild. You'll also find names from Norse cosmology — the nine worlds, mythical creatures, and the runes that held magical power. Each name carries the strength and spirit of the Viking age.
Norse mythology names are especially striking for breeds with Scandinavian origins, such as Norwegian Elkhounds, Swedish Vallhunds, and Finnish Spitz. They're also perfect for any large, powerful breed like Huskies, Malamutes, and German Shepherds. But even a small dog named Loki captures the trickster god's clever, mischievous energy perfectly.
