   It’s a trick they learned from Hagar the Horrible.

   Hagar is a female name. From the Hebrew by way of Arabic.
   .
   How it ended up being given to a male comic strip viking is something you’d have to ask the late Dik Browne (via seance) or his son Chris.

   Not to speak on behalf of the Brownes, but …

   Names can coincide. For instance, we have the female name Kim, from Kimberly, the male name Kim, from Joakim, and the notorious Korean family name Kim.

   Nor is it unheard of for Norse names to coincide with Hebrew names. Famously, David may also have been a Norse name, from Dagvid. (Evidence is suggestive, but not conclusive.)

   And spelling was not standardized (hah!), particularly as many of the Norse names were taken down by others. Eirik Blodøks (Bloodaxe), an early king of Norway, was later twice king of the Northumbria, and the Danes took his name down as Eric.

   The name of Hägar might well be Hergeir in a different spelling.

   (Possibly even more to the point, there’s a 16th century farm in Norway called Hægar, but I have no idea how its name is derived. Could be a red herring.)

    @Alexikakos

    The “a” has two dots over it, giving it a different sound ( ie: “eh”, instead of “ah” ). And, it COULD be an ancient Scandinavian name, too. Maybe you can explain why, in modern Greek, the letter “gamma” is often pronounced like a “Y”!!!!!

    And there are many names that can be considered unisex. Bob, (short for Bobbie, as in Bobbie Gentry the singer, or short for Robert), Chris (short for Christine or Christopher), just to name a couple.
