Håkon is a Norwegian masculine given name, derived from the Old Norse name Hákonr. It is composed of two elements: 'haki', meaning 'heel', and 'mann', meaning 'man'. Therefore, Håkon translates to "High-born man" or "Man with high heels". This name has been popular among Norwegian royalty, with several kings named Håkon throughout history, including Håkon I, the first king of Norway, who ruled from 890 to 934. The name is still used today and ranked among the top boys' names in Norway. Internationally, it may also be found in countries with Norwegian influence or communities with Scandinavian roots.
