Norse mythology cat names

288 names

Norse cat names hit harder than most. The mythology is full of sharp consonants, single-syllable punches, and names that feel weather-worn even on paper — Loki, Odin, Thor, Freya, Skadi, Hel. These are good cat names for a reason: short, distinctive, and unmistakable when shouted across a room or a yard.

This collection draws from the Aesir and Vanir (the two families of Norse gods), the valkyries who choose the slain, frost giants, ravens and wolves from the sagas, and a few legendary figures from the Eddas. Freya — the goddess of love and war who rode a chariot pulled by two cats — is the natural starting point for a Norse cat name, but Loki tends to win out for the cats who actually earn it.

Norse names suit cats with attitude: long-haired breeds like Norwegian Forest Cats and Maine Coons (the Vikings supposedly brought their ancestors to North America), grey-coated tabbies, and any cat whose personality includes a streak of mischief or solemnity. Browse the list below — you'll know the right name when you see it.
