How It Works:

Send us your name or word, and we'll translate it into Elder Futhark runes and hand carve it into your pendant. We will email you before carving to verify details. Create an authentic translation of your text into this ancient writing system.

  • Family surname or clan name
  • Meaningful words (Warrior, Strength, Courage, Freedom)
  • Norse words (Valhalla, Odin, Thor, Skål)
  • Children's names for parents
  • Partner's name for couples jewelry
  • Viking mottos or battle cries

The Elder Futhark Alphabet:

The Elder Futhark is the oldest form of the runic alphabets, used from around 150-800 AD by Germanic tribes including the Vikings. Each of the 24 runes represents both a sound and a concept, making them powerful symbols beyond just letters. Your name translated into these ancient runes becomes more than text - it's a connection to Viking heritage and Norse tradition.

Details:

  • Hand carved from thick solid sterling silver
  • Oxidized finish for authentic Viking-era appearance
  • Custom carved with your name or word in Elder Futhark runes
  • Each rune carefully translated and carved
  • Bold, masculine pendant design
  • Chain is not included. Choose an oxidized chain from our shop. A 2.5mm chain is shown. 

    Please upload or email us a photo of the translated version of your chosen words. There are a few different types of runes and we don't want any confusion. Second pendant shown is 1.5 inches and reads "Always You" in Elder Futhark runic alphabet.

    One inch pendant will hold about 5 letters/symbols. The 1.5 inch pendant will hold about 9. We can adjust this by making them a bit smaller if need be. All pendants are carved in solid sterling silver. 

Whether you're honoring your Scandinavian roots, celebrating Viking culture, or creating a truly unique personalized gift, this custom Viking rune name necklace transforms your modern name into an ancient symbol of identity and heritage. Wear your name as the Vikings would have written it over a thousand years ago.
