Halden First Name Meaning

Halden is a male name of Scandinavian origin, meaning "Half-Danish." The name is derived from the town and municipality of Halden in Østfold county, Norway. Halden, formerly known as Fredrikshald, has a rich history dating back to the Nordic Bronze Age, evidenced by early human settlements in the region. The town's coat-of-arms and historical significance are linked to its resilience during the Dano-Swedish War and the Great Northern War. Halden is known for its IT industry, environmental initiatives, and the presence of the Halden Boiling Water Reactor. The area is also home to the well-preserved Rød Herregård manor house, notable historical museums, and natural landmarks such as the Gjellestad ship burial. The city has also produced several notable individuals in public service, the arts, and sports.
