Rune is a unisex, though predominantly masculine, given name derived from the Old Norse word rún, meaning "secret". It is earliest attested in a runestone as runi.[1] It is a common name in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, and popular in Belgium, where it ranked in top thirty names for baby boys in 2006 and was the tenth most popular name for boys in 2006 in the Flemish Region of Belgium.[2] Rúni, a variant of the name, was among the ten most popular names given to baby boys in the Faroe Islands, Denmark, in 2007. In the United States, Rune is a much less common name; in 2021 there were only 35 baby boys and only 9 baby girls named Rune. Notable people with the name include:
