Hafso is a unique and enchanting female given name of Norwegian origin. It derives from the Old Norse word 'haufr,' meaning 'hillock' or 'mound.' In Norse mythology, 'Hafrsfjord' is renowned as the site where the famed warrior king Harald Fairhair united Norway around 872 AD. Thus, Hafso carries a rich historical and cultural heritage. The name Hafso was traditionally given to girls born near bodies of water or in areas with notable hills and landscapes. It has a melodic flow and evokes images of natural beauty and strength, much like the namesake fjord.
Hafso had five babies born with that name in 2009, making up all of its total births for that year.
