Rune

Meaning of Rune

Rune steps onto the birth certificate with the quiet confidence of a Viking skald sharing a secret under a starlit sky. The name springs from the Old Norse rún, meaning “secret” or “mystery.” As the Romans would smile and say, nomen est omen—your name is your destiny. In Swedish it sings out ROO-neh; in English it’s the sleeker ROON. Rune is happily unisex, perfect for any little explorer. Its vibe blends ancient runic stones, northern pine forests, and a dash of modern tech savvy. American parents are catching on: from just eight babies in 2001 to more than eighty in 2024, its star keeps rising. No crystal ball—or rune stone—needed to see the trend. Short, swift, and softly magical, Rune can turn everyday moments into a mini epic, one bedtime story at a time.
