Håken

Håken is a given name of Scandinavian origin. It is a variant of the Old Norse name Hákon, which is composed of two elements: "há" meaning "high" or "noble," and "konr" meaning "kin" or "descendant." Therefore, Håken can be interpreted as "high-born" or "noble descendant." The name is particularly common in Sweden and Norway.

Historically, the name Hákon was borne by several Norwegian kings, most notably Hákon the Good (c. 935–961) and Hákon IV of Norway (1204–1263). These historical figures have contributed to the enduring popularity of the name in Scandinavian countries. In modern times, Håken is a recognizable given name, though perhaps less prevalent than some other traditional Scandinavian names. It is primarily a male given name.
