Loki Name meanings & History

Norse mythology / Scandinavian. "Trickster", "God of Mischief". Meaning unknown, possibly derived from the Germanic root *luką meaning "lock". In Norse mythology Loki was a trickster god associated with magic and shape shifting. Loki's children include the wolf Fenrir, the sea serpent Jörmungandr, and the queen of the dead Hel. After he orchestrated the death of Balder, the other gods tied him to a rock below a snake that dripped venom onto his face. It is told that he will break free during Ragnarök, the final battle, and slay and be slain by Heimdall. Loki can be used as a name for baby boys, but due to its associations with Norse mythology and the Marvel Universe, it may be more commonly used as a name for pets or fictional characters.
