Magni

Magni is a name with deep roots in Norse mythology. It is derived directly from the Old Norse word 'magn' or 'megn', meaning 'might' or 'strength'. In the Eddas, Magni is the son of Thor, the god of thunder, and the giantess Járnsaxa. He is depicted as incredibly strong, even at a young age, famously helping his father lift the leg of the giant Hrungnir after Thor had defeated him.

The name has been used in Scandinavian countries for centuries, though it has never reached widespread popularity outside of the region. Its association with a powerful mythological figure gives it a strong and heroic connotation. While less common today, it experiences occasional revivals, particularly among those interested in Norse heritage or unique, strong-sounding names.
