Magni is Norse in Origin.
Magni is a masculine given name from Old Norse, built on magn “might, strength.” In Norse myth, Magni is the son of Thor and the giantess Járnsaxa, famed for prodigious strength - he frees his father from the giant Hrungnir - and is foretold to survive Ragnarök, inheriting Mjölnir with his brother Móði. The name appears in the Eddas and conveys “the mighty one” or “strength.”
In modern use, Magni persists chiefly in Iceland and the Faroe Islands as a male name (compare Magnús/Magnus and Magne). Norway also records Magni as a female name in the early 20th century, often as a short form of Magnhild; Magny is a related feminine variant. Additional variants and cognates include Magnús (Icelandic), Magnus (Scandinavian/Latinized), and Magne (Norwegian). Note that Latin magni (“of great,” the genitive of magnus) is a grammatical form, not the source of this given name.
