Fenrir Name meanings & History

Fenrir is the name of a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology, who is said to have fathered the wolves Skoll and Hati who chase the sun and moon across the sky until the end of the world. From Old Norse fen meaning "marsh, fen". In Norse mythology Fenrir was a ferocious wolf, one of the offspring of Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Because it was foretold he would bring about disaster, the gods bound him with a magical fetter, though in the process Tyr's hand was bitten off. At the time of Ragnarök, the end of the world, it is told that he will break free and kill Odin. Fenrir is a unique and rare name that is often reserved for those who have a connection to or appreciation for Norse mythology.
