What's in a Name

[Orfinn]

Here are some Norwegian names I Recognized from HoMM4: With a little searching on the web, I found their some of their bakgrounds as well.

Sigrid (female knight), common name in Norway. Means "beautiful victory" in Old Norwegian.
Bakrus (male priest). Actually this means "hangover" in Norwegian! I guess this was unintended or means something else in another language.
Gavin Magnus (male mage). Magnus is very common in Norway and possibly also in the rest of the Nordic countries. Means "large" or "big" in Latin. Often used for royalties.
Kyrre (male archer) means "peaceful" in Old Norwegian. Common name in Norway.
Regina (female druid) means "queen" in 'new' Latin. Quite common name in Norway.
Hagnar (male barbarian). Norwegian surname(?).

Nice observation by you there

Kyrre (male archer) means "peaceful" in Old Norwegian. Common name in Norway.

While Kyrre is a MALE Archer in Heroes 4 … she was a FEMALE Ranger in Heroes 3.

Kyrre isn't female ranger in H3, he has only got a stupid look

The Chaos town name "Trencin" can be inspired from Slovak town "Trenčín"
