What surname does Eivor use in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s canonical identity?

Eivor’s canonical identity in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla uses the surname Varinsdottir.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, released in 2020, follows Eivor Varinsdottir, a Viking raider who leaves Norway and settles in ninth-century England. The game allows players to choose Eivor’s presentation, but the character’s canonical identity is female, and the surname “Varinsdottir” means “Varin’s daughter” in Scandinavian naming tradition.

Eivor becomes involved with the Hidden Ones and the Order of the Ancients while building a settlement in England. The story includes historical kingdoms and figures, including Wessex under Alfred the Great, Mercia, Northumbria, and East Anglia.

The surname can be confused with patronymic-style names belonging to other characters. Sigurd is Eivor’s foster brother, while Varin is Eivor’s father. “Varinsdottir” therefore identifies Eivor through her father’s name rather than describing a fixed hereditary family surname in the modern sense.
