Gunners Origin and Meaning

The name Gunners is a boy's name.

Gunners is a masculine name derived from the occupational surname for someone who operated medieval artillery or hunting weapons. It's related to Gunnar, a traditional Norse name meaning 'warrior' or 'bold fighter,' combining 'gunnr' (war) and 'arr' (warrior). The addition of the 's' gives it a distinctive surname quality. While uncommon as a first name, it has gained some recognition through association with the Arsenal Football Club, whose fans are called 'Gunners.' The name carries strong, masculine connotations with military and sporting connections. It appeals to parents seeking something distinctive yet straightforward with historic Nordic roots.
