Arvid is Norse in Origin.
Arvid is a Scandinavian masculine given name from Old Norse Arnviðr (arn "eagle" + viðr "wood, forest"), yielding the sense "eagle of the forest" or "eagle-wood." The name appears in medieval Swedish records and persisted in the nobility and clergy; notable bearers include statesman Arvid Trolle (15th–16th c.) and Count Arvid Horn (17th–18th c.). It enjoyed renewed favor during the 19th-century national-romantic movement across Sweden and Norway and later spread to Germany and the Baltics through cultural exchange.
Common forms are Arvid (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German), Arvīds (Latvian), Arwid (Polish), and Arved (German, Estonian); Finnish Arvi is a clipped cognate. Older Swedish spellings such as Arwid also occur. The name’s imagery blends nobility (the eagle as a heraldic bird) with steadfastness suggested by the forest element, making Arvid a succinct, nature-rich choice that feels traditional yet brisk.
