Eiler is a male given name of Scandinavian origin, particularly popular in Denmark and Norway. It is derived from the Old Norse name Eilífr, which is composed of two elements: 'ei' meaning 'one' and 'hildr' translating to 'battle'. Therefore, Eiler can be interpreted as "the one who is ready for battle". The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages in Scandinavia and has since been passed down through generations. Today, it remains a unique and distinctive name choice for parents seeking to honor Scandinavian heritage or simply looking for an uncommon yet meaningful name for their son.
There were no babies named Eiler in any year after 2013, with only five Eilers being born that year alone.
