In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, what is the first name of the Viking protagonist whose surname is Varinsdottir or Varinsson?

The story behind the answer

Eivor is the first name of Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Viking protagonist.

The character can be presented as female Eivor Varinsdottir or male Eivor Varinsson, depending on the player's selected presentation. The name Eivor remains the character's first name in both versions, while Varinsson and Varinsdottir identify the character as Varin's son or daughter.

Eivor leaves Norway with the Raven Clan and helps establish a settlement in ninth-century England. The story combines Viking expansion, alliances with English kingdoms, and a continuing conflict involving the Hidden Ones and the Order of the Ancients.

Sigurd is Eivor's adoptive brother and an important character, not the protagonist. Basim is a Hidden One whose role becomes increasingly significant. Valhalla therefore has several prominent names, but Eivor is the playable hero at the center of the campaign.
