Hafli

While this masculine moniker has several possible meanings, it's most commonly associated with Hafli, a jötnar, or “giant,” depicted in Old Norse mythology. Hafli might also stem from Hafliði, a title derived from the elements haf, meaning “sea,” and liði, meaning “one who goes.” Together, these elements create the translation “seafarer,” so don’t be surprised if your little one’s dreams involve thrilling adventures at sea! Perhaps Hafli is a shortened form of Hafliótr, another old Norse moniker that means “shining sea.” With a name that evokes such vivid imagery, little Hafli will always feel intrigued by tales and legends.
