Vili Name Meaning

"Vili" is primarily used in the Finnish culture and its origin is in Old Norse, from Nordic mythology. The exact meaning of the name is not clear, it is believed to bear a meaning of "will" or "desire". Another interpretation suggests it to mean "sacred" since in old Norse, the word Vé refers to a type of shrine.

In Norse mythology, Vili is one of the three brothers (alongside Odin and Vé) who slew Ymir, the giant from whom the world was crafted.
