Meaning:Thief of peace; Servant of peace
Frithjof is more than just a name for boys—it’s a poem in a word. This name is believed to have been a metaphorical term for a fighter in Norse poetry, and its translation perfectly expresses the duality of a warrior. Fighting for the peace of your home can mean taking the peace of another, and in ancient Norse culture, this may have been a normal part of life. Meaning “thief of peace” and “servant of peace,” Frithjof is like two sides of a really coin; the name artistically expresses what was once necessary for everyday survival.
