Norse Cat Names – 300+ Ideas (Viking, Nordic & More)
Because your cat deserves a name as legendary as Odin himself.
🐾 So, You’ve Got a Cat Worthy of the Gods?
Let me guess—you brought home a majestic little beast who struts around like they own the nine realms. They knock things off shelves with Thor-level confidence and stare at you like you’re a mere mortal in their godly presence. Sound familiar?
Well, then you can’t name that fluffball “Mittens” or “Fluffy.” Nah, they deserve something with some serious Nordic power. Something bold. Something with history. Something… Viking.
I’ve always been fascinated with Norse mythology (thank you, Marvel and history rabbit holes 🙃), and when I named my cat “Loki” a few years back—let’s just say the name fit too well. Chaos? Check. Cleverness? Absolutely. Occasional destruction? Yup.
So if you’re ready to find the perfect Norse cat name, buckle up. We’re diving into over 300 epic, mythical, and downright badass Norse cat names—complete with meanings, vibes, and a sprinkle of sarcasm (because naming cats is serious and fun business).
