Once little Rune learns their name’s meaning, they’ll want to unveil it and ensure it is far from hidden! A masculine title, Rune derives from the Old Norse word rún, meaning “secret” or “secret lore.” While baby will always know that they can tell you what they’re thinking and how they’re feeling, their name could remind them that it’s okay not to have all the answers.
