Uni is a masculine name from Old Norse, where uni means 'contentment' or 'happiness.' The word is related to the verb una, 'to be content,' and to unaðr, 'delight.' The name is best understood literally as 'contentment' or as a name for a contented person, not as a symbolic or religious term.
Uni Name History & Origins
Uni is an Old Norse masculine name. The modern Icelandic and Faroese forms keep the Old Norse spelling. The name belongs to the Scandinavian tradition of personal names taken from ordinary words, and it remained in use in Iceland and the Faroe Islands after the medieval period; in both places it is a masculine given name.
Uni is not related to the Latin word unus, 'one,' despite the similar spelling. In English, uni is also an informal shortening of 'university,' but that use is unrelated to the personal name.
