Liv is associated with the meaning “Protection, life, or shelter” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Liv is a Scandinavian name with Old Norse roots. It comes from the Old Norse word hlíf, meaning "protection" or "shelter." Over time, it merged with the modern Scandinavian word liv, which simply means "life." So the name carries a dual identity: a shield and a heartbeat.
