Anbjorn is Scandinavian in Origin.

Anbjorn is a Scandinavian masculine given name rooted in Old Norse Arnbjǫrn, a dithematic compound of arn, "eagle," and bjǫrn, "bear." The image of the eagle-bear evokes watchfulness, ferocity, and leadership, qualities celebrated in early Norse naming.

Attested on Viking Age runestones and in Icelandic sagas under forms like Arnbjǫrn and Arnbiorn, the name persisted through the medieval period in Norway, Iceland, Denmark, and Sweden. Anbjorn is a modern, diacritic-free spelling; Anbjørn (Norwegian/Danish) and Arnbjörn (Icelandic/Swedish) are standard regional forms. Variant assimilations such as Ambjørn/Ambjörn also occur in Scandinavian records. Related names sharing the same roots include Arnbjørn/Arnbjorn, Arne/Árni (from the eagle element), and Bjørn/Björn. While uncommon today, Anbjorn and its cognates fit the revived Old Norse naming trend and carry a strong, nature-rich meaning.
