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.
