Eysteins is Norse in Origin.
Eysteins is a Scandinavian personal name rooted in Old Norse Eysteinn, built from ey, a name element meaning “good fortune” or “luck” (from Proto-Germanic *auja), and steinn, “stone.” The resulting sense is “lucky stone” or “stone of good fortune.” In Icelandic grammar, Eysteins is the genitive form (“of Eysteinn”), a shape preserved in saga citations and patronymic phrases; as a standalone given name it is rare and typically reflects family tradition or adaptation from a surname form.
Usage stretches from the Viking Age into medieval Norway and Iceland. Bearers include Norwegian kings Eystein I Magnusson and Eystein II Haraldsson, and St. Øystein (Erlendsson), 12th-century archbishop of Nidaros. The name survives in modern Scandinavia, especially Norway. Established variants and related forms include Øystein and Eystein (Norwegian), Eysteinn (Icelandic), Eysteinur (Faroese), and the anglicized Oystein; short forms such as Stein also occur.
