“FORNJOT”

Fornjot – a Norse giant and the father of Sea God Ægir; hence associated with not only the sea, but also with storm, fire and snow. The exact meaning of his name is somewhat unclear though. By one interpretation it is “Forn-jætte” (jætte meaning giant), hence “the very old giant”. It was commonly believed that the giants were the original inhabitants of the North.

Jætte, der var far til havguden Ægir, dvs. forbundet med havet; men også storm, ild og sne forbindes han med. Betydningen af hans navn er lidt usikker. Måske betyder det “Forn-jætte”, dvs. den meget gamle jætte. Det var en udbredt forestilling, at jætterne skulle være Nordens oprindelige indbyggere.
