Literally means cloudprotection in Norwegian. Thought for a second we had gotten our own cloudflare.

I was so surprised to read this, especially since we definitely didn't know about it when naming Skyvern.

Out of curiosity, I checked both Cambridge's Norwegian-English dictionary and a few other Norwegian sources, but I couldn't find 'Skyvern' listed anywhere. Makes me wonder if Google translate just hallucinated the meaning.

No, in Norwegian we make words by joining multiple word together (closed compound) in this case sky(cloud) and vern(protection).

Ah, now that makes sense! Thanks for sharing it. We definitely didn’t have that in mind when naming it Skyvern, but it's cool to see how it could be interpreted that way
