Orn is Khmer, Norse, Scandinavian in Origin.

Orn is a cross-cultural given name with distinct roots. In the Nordic languages, Orn corresponds to Icelandic Örn (from Old Norse ǫrn), meaning “eagle,” a symbol of keen sight and courage; it appears independently and in Germanic compound names via the stem Arn-.

In Thai, Orn (อร) is a feminine name element and standalone nickname meaning “lovely, graceful; beautiful,” found widely in modern usage. Spelling variants and related forms include Örn (Icelandic), Ørn (Norwegian/Danish), and Arn-, Arne, Arno in the Germanic tradition; in Thailand, Orn may appear in longer compound names. The Nordic form is attested in saga-age records and remains common in Iceland today, while the Thai form grew with the 20th-century preference for names evoking virtue and beauty. Overall, usage is unisex across cultures - masculine in the Nordic sense, feminine in Thai contexts.
