Roar (Dane)

Roar, a common given name in Denmark (and other Scandinavian countries), is derived from the Old Norse name "Hróarr." Hróarr is composed of the elements hróðr meaning "fame," "glory," or "renown," and herr meaning "army" or "warrior." Therefore, Roar can be interpreted as having connotations of "famous warrior" or "glorious army." The name has been in use for centuries, reflecting the region's Viking past. It remains a moderately popular name choice for boys in Denmark in modern times.
