Njörun
In Norse mythology, Njörun (Old Norse ''Njǫrun'', sometimes modernly anglicized as ''Niorun'') is a goddess attested in the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, and various kennings (including once in the ''Poetic Edda''). Scholarly theories concerning her name and function in the pantheon include etymological connections to the Norse god Njörðr and the Roman goddess Nerio, and suggestions that she may represent the earth and/or be the unnamed sister-wife of Njörðr.
==Attestations==
Njörun is listed (after Bil) as an ásynja within the ''Prose Edda'' book ''Skáldskaparmál''. No further information outside of her name is provided there.〔Faulkes (1995:157).〕 In addition, the name occurs in kennings for women in poetry by Kormákr Ögmundarson, Hrafn Önundarson and Rögnvaldr Kali as well as in ''Krákumál'' and verses in ''Íslendinga saga'', ''Njáls saga'' and ''Harðar saga''.〔Finnur Jónsson (1931:429).〕 ''Eld-Njörun'' (meaning "fire-Njörun") occurs in women kennings in poetry by Gísli Súrsson and Björn Breiðvíkingakappi〔Finnur Jónsson (1931:106).〕 while ''hól-Njörun'' occurs in a somewhat dubious kenning in a stanza by Björn hítdælakappi.〔Finnur Jónsson (1931:276).〕 ''Draum-Njörun'' (meaning "dream-Njörun") is cited in the ''Poetic Edda'' poem ''Alvíssmál'' as a word from the language of the dwarves for the night. The same word occurs in ''Nafnaþulur''.〔Finnur Jónsson (1931:84).〕
