Viggo

Viggo, also spelled Wiggo, is a Nordic male name. There are two main theories about its origins: * a Latinised form of the Old Norse name ''Viggeir'', which is also found in the form of other Germanic names, such as ''Ludvig''. It stems from old Norse ''vig-'', meaning "battle, fight". * a variant of the Icelandic name Vöggur, coming from old Norse 'vöggr', "one who lies in a cradle".
