Brísingamen
In Norse mythology, ''Brísingamen'' (or ''Brísinga men'') is the torc or necklace of the goddess Freyja.〔Bellows, Henry Adams (Trans.) ''The Poetic Edda'', Princeton University Press, 1936. p. 158.〕 The name is an Old Norse compound ''brísinga-men'' whose second element is ''men'' "(ornamental) neck-ring (of precious metal), torc".〔Faulkes, Anthony and Barnes, Michael (compilers) ''A New Introduction to Old Norse''. Part III: ''Glossary and Index of Names''. Fourth ed. Viking Society for Northern Research, 2007.〕 The etymology of the first element is uncertain. It has been derived from Old Norse ''brísingr'', a poetic term for "fire" or "amber" mentioned in the anonymous versified word-lists (''þulur'') appended to many manuscripts of the Prose Edda,〔Vigfusson, Gudbrand and Powell, F. York (eds. & trans.) ''Corpus Poeticum Boreale: The Poetry of the Old Northern Tongue''. Vol. II: ''Court Poetry''. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1883. p. 435, l. 534.〕 making Brísingamen "gleaming torc", "sunny torc", or the like. However, ''Brísingr'' can also be an ethnonym, in which case ''Brísinga men'' is "torque of the Brísings"; the Old English parallel in ''Beowulf'' supports this derivation, though who the Brísings (Old Norse ''Brísingar'') may have been remains unknown.〔Lindow, John. ''Handbook of Norse Mythology''. ABC-CLIO, 2001, s.v. ''Brísinga men''.〕
