Gullinbursti is Norse in Origin.

Gullinbursti is an Old Norse name meaning “golden-bristled,” from gull “gold” + -inn “golden” and bursti “bristles.” In the Prose Edda, the dwarfs Brokkr and Sindri (also called Eitri) forge Gullinbursti, the radiant boar who draws the fertility god Freyr’s chariot; his glowing mane lights the way over land, sea, and sky. The boar is also attested under the epithet Slíðrugtanni, “fearsome-tooth.” As a mythic image, Gullinbursti evokes brightness, protection, abundance, and tireless speed.

As a given name, it is exceedingly rare and largely a modern, statement choice inspired by Norse lore; it tends to read masculine in form but can be used unisex. Variants and related forms include the unchanged Old Norse spelling Gullinbursti (Anglicized without diacritics), the epithet Slidrugtanni (simplified), and occasional literary translations such as Golden-Bristles. Possible nicknames are Gulli or Gullin.
