Myrkviðr In Germanic mythology, Myrkviðr (Old Norse "mirky wood, dark wood"〔Simek (2007:224).〕 or "black forest"〔Gentry (2002:101—102).〕) or, as anglicised by William Morris and later adopted by JRR Tolkien, Mirkwood, is the name of several forests. The direct derivatives of the name occurs as a place name both in Sweden and Norway, and related forms of the name occur elsewhere in Europe, most famously the Black Forest (''Schwarzwald''), and may thus be a general term for dark and dense forests of ancient Europe.〔Bugge (1896:65).〕〔Chadwick (1922:201).〕 ==Etymology== The word ''myrkviðr'' is a compound of two words. The first element is ''myrk'' "dark", which is cognate to, among others, the English adjectives ''mirky'' and ''murky''.〔〔Bjorvand and Lindeman (2007:770).〕 The second element is ''viðr'' "wood, forest".〔Cleasby and Vigfusson (1874:703).〕
