Origin: Scandinavian
Other Origin(s): Norse
Meaning: Noble; Exalted son
Hako is a mighty masculine name of Scandinavian origin. A little trim off the Old Norse name Haakon, Hako means “noble” or “exalted son,” making it a moniker that feels just right for a king of the castle. The name Haakon was also said to be carried by the seven kings of Norway, and there’s no better way to make your little one next in line than with a name as praiseworthy as Hako. Hako may be a few letters short of its courtly counterpart, but its legacy will live on nonetheless.
