Where did Jack Frost come from? Technically, wherever there was snow, there was a story about a wintery figure. Each figure had a different name, personality, and sometimes gender. As for Jack Frost, the most commonly found sources of origon were the Norse and Russian tales.
In Norse tales, so resources say, Jack Frost was named Jokul Frosti, which means Icicle Frost. Unfortunately, there is little to no information that I could find on this character. From what is available, Jokul Frosti was the son of the winds. But, that is the extent of the information, using the full name. Viking tales speak of not Jokul Frosti, but plain Jokul, a cowardly excuse for a man. Another Norse ice figure were Hrym-Jotun, or Frost Giants, though I tend to doubt there connection is at all great.

Jack Frost is an elf from Scandanavian legend who was named Jokul Frosti, meaning Icicle Frost by the Norse Vikings.
He is very artistic and sneaks through towns late at night painting beautiful frost designs on windows and over the winter leaves and grass.
