Hymir Name meanings & History

Hymir means "giant" in Old Norse. In Norse mythology, Hymir was a giant who fought against Thor, the god of thunder. Of uncertain origin, possibly related to Old Norse húm meaning "semi-darkness, twilight". In Norse mythology this was the name of a giant (jǫtunn), according to Hymiskviða the father of the god Tyr, from whom Thor wanted to fetch a cauldron for the Æsir. In one myth Thor baited a fishing line with an ox skull in hopes of catching Miðgarðsormr ("world serpent"), also called Jörmungandr, but Hymir cut the line. The name Hymir is used mainly in Scandinavian countries and among people who are interested in Norse mythology.
