Alruna (Old Norse Ölrún, Old High German Ailrun, Modern German Alruna, Alraune) is a Germanic female personal name, from Proto Germanic '' *aliruna'' (or possibly '' *agilruna''), which is formed from ''runa'' "secret, rune" and a debated prefix that may be ''ali-'', ''agil-'', or ''alu-''. In German, ''Alruna'' was also used as a short form of ''Adelruna'', a different name with a first element '' *athal-'' "noble". In Germanic mythology, Ailrun is the wife of Agilaz, the legendary archer. In the poem ''Völundarkviða'', Ölrun (possibly Old Norse "ale rune"〔Simek (2007:251).〕) is identified as a valkyrie, and as a daughter of Kiár of Valland. Alruna of Cham was an 11th-century Bavarian recluse, the Roman Catholic patroness of pregnancy. It is also the name for the ''Mandragora'' or mandrake plant in a number of Germanic languages, the name of the plant being alruna in Swedish, alrune in Danish and Norwegian and Alraune in German. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alruna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
