Question

What is the name of the father of the Frost Giants in norse mythology and how did he alone create new Frost Giants?

Answer 1

In Norse mythology, the giants were a mythological race with superhuman strength, described as standing in opposition to the gods, although they frequently mingled with or were even married to these, both Æsir and Vanir. Their stronghold is known as Utgard, and is situated in Jötunheimr, one of the nine worlds of Norse cosmology, separated from Midgard, the world of men, by high mountains and dense forests. When living in worlds other than their own, they seem to prefer caves and dark places.

In Old Norse, they were called jötnar (sing. jötunn), or risar (sing. risi), in particular bergrisar, or þursar (sing. þurs), in particular hrímþursar. A giantess could also be known as a gýgr.

Jötunn (Proto-Germanic *etunaz) might have the same root as "eat" (Proto-Germanic *etan) and accordingly had the original meaning of "glutton" or "man-eater." Following the same logic, þurs might be derivative of "thirst" or "blood-thirst." Risi is probably akin to "rise," and so means "towering person." The word "jotun" survives in modern Norwegian as giant (though more commonly called trolls), and has evolved into jätte and jætte in Swedish and Danish. In modern Icelandic jötunn has evolved to mean "strength". In Old English, the cognate to jötunn are eoten, whence modern English ettin. Old English also has the cognate þyrs of the same meaning. [1]

As according to Ynglingatal, Fundinn Noregr and Hversu Noregr byggdist, jötnar were from Finland, the word could also be derived from the Finnish word jätti - "giant".[citation needed] Regarding þurs, interestingly a Finnish sea monster and possible god of war was called Tursas. Both according to the Nordic sagas, as well as the present knowledge of ancient Finnish history, Finns were known to have chains of manned watchtowers ready to signal possible dangers from enemy attacks over vast distances.

The connection between Old English word ent "giant", Old Norse jötunn "giant", Finnish jätti "giant" and the Tibetan Yeti "hairy giant" is not certain, but does certainly not seem too far fetched[citation needed], when remembered that Fenno-Ugrian languages are still spoken nearby the areas of Tibetan language [2] and that Finnic languages were one of the earliest ones in the Scandinavian region. The Saami languages, also Finnic, also have in their mythology jiettanas, which were man-eating people with several wives. They could be captured and eaten up by humans, and their stomachs were filled with gold and silver. Whether or not this word came from Germanic languages is unknown.
