Níðhöggr Name meanings & History

Níðhöggr is a name from Norse mythology, and it is the name of a dragon that gnaws at the root of the tree Yggdrasil. In Norse mythology, Níðhöggr is a symbol of decay, corruption, and destruction. Means "malice striker". In Norse mythology this is the name of the dragon who lives in the pool Hvergelmir and gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil. He lives in Nástönd, a part of Niflheimr ("the dark home") or Helheimr ("Hel's home") and chews on the corpses of those guilty of murder, adultery and oath-breaking (which the Norsemen considered the worst possible crimes). Níðhöggr is typically used in reference to the dragon from Norse mythology, and it would not be a suitable name for a human baby.
