jónar

Jónar is a given name of Old Norse origin. It is the Icelandic form of the name, and is derived from the Old Norse god Jólnir, which is another name for Odin. The name Jólnir is believed to be related to the word "jól," meaning Yule or Christmas. Therefore, Jónar can be interpreted as "son of Odin" or "Christmas man." While it is most common in Iceland, variations of the name exist in other Scandinavian countries. The name has been used for centuries, and remains a popular choice for boys in Iceland. It is a masculine given name.
