Gríms

Gríms is a given name of Old Norse origin. It is derived from the word gríma, meaning "mask" or "helmet." The name was common among Viking settlers in Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Historically, Gríms has been associated with figures in Norse sagas and mythology, often depicting individuals with strong, protective qualities. While less common in modern usage compared to some other Scandinavian names, it is still found in contemporary Iceland and Denmark. Variations of the name exist across Germanic languages, though Gríms itself remains distinctly Scandinavian. The name’s enduring presence speaks to its historical roots and continued cultural relevance in its regions of origin.
