If you’re from Denmark, you might want to give your future son a Danish name. Or, you may simply want to give them a Danish name because you’re a fan of Viking culture, open-face sandwiches, and Danish folklore. Whatever your reasons may be, know that you simply can’t go wrong with a Danish name — they’re just that cool.
The name Aksel means “The father of peace.” It is of Norwegian origin and has become increasingly popular in Denmark. It’s a variation of the name Axel, which is blowing up the baby name charts in America.
One of the top trending Danish boy names is Bjarke, which means “bear.” But don’t let this pet name fool you, as it has a tough reputation, being a part of Old Norse mythology and all. A less popular but always relevant Danish name is Jannick, which means “God is gracious.” It is a strong name that can be compared to the ever-so-popular American English name, John.
Just like Jannick, the name Jens means “God is gracious.” It also derives from the name John. According to Statista, Jens was the third most popular boy name in Denmark in 2020. It is of Scandinavian origin and is both easy to spell and pronounce, unlike Jannick which is pronounced “Yannick.”
You may also like the name Steffen, which is a Danish name that resembles the German and Scandanavian name, Stefan. Steffan means “crown,” and is a common Danish name that is worthy of any little prince.
