Vagn

Vagn (Danish: [ˈvɑwn]) is an Old Norse masculine forename, meaning 'wagon'. In Norwegian, the name means orca. It was the name of a famous 10th-century Jomsviking, Vagn Åkesson.

The name can also be spelled Vaghn, Vaughn, Wagn or Waghn. Vagnur is a Faroese form of the name. Vagn is also used as a component in the Faroese male name Vagnar and the Icelandic female name Vagnbjörg.

The Old Norse was revived in modern Scandinavia, the first modern bearer of the name on record being Vagn Ekman (1874-1954), a Swedish oceanographer.[1] The name became popular in Denmark during the 1920s and 1930s.[2]
