The name is the modern version of Bjarki stemming from the viking hero Bödvar Bjarki (Old Norse: Böðvar Bjarki), meaning 'Warlike Little-Bear' appearing in tales of Hrólf Kraki in the Saga of Hrólf Kraki, in the Latin epitome to the lost Skjöldunga saga, and as Biarco in Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum. Some think he and the hero Beowulf in the Old English poem Beowulf were originally the same personage, while others reject this notion.
