What is the meaning of the name Andvaranaut ?

Andvaranaut is Norse in Origin.

Andvaranaut is a mythic Norse name formed from Andvari (the dwarf’s name) + naut, an Old Norse noun from the verb njóta “to enjoy, use, have the benefit of.” The compound therefore means “Andvari’s possession/treasure,” often rendered “Andvari’s gift,” and refers to the ring central to the gold-hoard legend.

Attested in the Poetic Edda (Reginsmál, Fáfnismál) and Völsunga saga, Andvaranaut is the cursed ring seized by Loki whose baleful fate shapes the stories of Hreidmar, Fáfnir, and Sigurðr; the motif later influenced Wagner’s Ring cycle. As a given name it is virtually unused and carries intense mythic baggage; if adopted, it functions as a bold, gender-neutral choice. Variant spellings include Andvarenaut (rare Anglicization); related names are Andvari/Andvarr. Equivalent forms in other languages are uncommon.
