As fate would have it, your little explorer is destined for worldly adventures, and with Norne, they are the leaders of how they spend their days on Earth. In French, it traces back to Borgne, an Old French term used for someone with a single eye. It is also a nod to the scenic landscapes of Southern France, where Celtic communities have used it for someone living near a "spring," from the Occitan term borna. In English, it is linked to Bourne, and it may also be an Americanised form of the Dutch surname Van den Borne, associated with the Limburg province. As an alternative to Norna, Norne reflects the Norse mythology of the Norns, a group of sister goddesses who controlled time and fate, derived from the Old Norse norn and Swedish norna, meaning "to warn" and "to communicate secretly." Norne is a moniker for the cosmopolitans and the mystics alike!
