Fenre
Norwegian Nynorsk
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Semi-learned borrowing from Old Norse Fenrir, a shortening of Fenrisulfr, from *fen-hrís-ulfr (“wolf of the fen brushwood”). Another less likely theory is that Fenrir is older and coming from Proto-Norse *ᚠᚨᚾᛁᛉᛁᛃᚨᛉ (*faniʀijaʀ), *ᚠᚨᚾᚨᛉᛁᛃᚨᛉ (*fanaʀijaʀ), from Proto-Germanic *faniz, *fanaz.
