Mjǫllnir
Old Norse
Etymology
Most likely from Proto-Norse *ᛗᛖᛚᚢᚾᛁᚨᛉ (*melluniaʀ), from Proto-Germanic *meldunjaz, from Proto-Indo-European *melh₂-. Compare Old Norse myln (“fire”), Welsh mellt (“lightning”), Russian мо́лния (mólnija, “lightning”), Latvian milna (“hammer of Pērkons”).
Alternatively, relation to mjǫll (“fresh snow”) has been proposed.
