Looking for some advice...

[whirliebird]

Anyone in here Norwegian/Scandinavian or know anything about that sort of names? I've fallen in love with them name Runa and was just wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it...pronunciation, meaning etc... x

Did you see the recent thread? I'll bump it up for you. I know very little about Scandinavian names but I've heard of Runa and like it well enough.

Thank you x

The recent thread about Runa I remember turned out to be your thread also, whirlie Sorry

Ha ha, that's fine I was just looking for a little more info on it. Thank you x

Why not Google it?

There's a page on Runa on Behind the Name: www.behindthename.com/name/runa

Also Nordic Names, which is a great resource for Scandi names:
www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Runa

I think it's a lovely name. Very unusual but sweet and intuitive to say and spell (it's ROO-na). I know a little one who's 6 months old and she gets Ru for short - adorable!

Thank you Jooni, I'll check out those sites.

I don't know what was on those links. I found that Runa was the name of a troll in norse mythology. Interesting, but I still like the name, it appears to have a long interesting history. Also used as short for Frideruna and similar names.

Runa is lovely
