    Hrímnir is a giant frequently mentioned in Norse mythology.

    In Hyndluljóð verse 32 he is the father of Heiðr and Hrossþjófr,[1] but that may be just for alliteration's sake.[2] He is mentioned in Skírnismál verse 28,[2][3] probably as a typical giant.[4]

    He is listed among the jötnar in the Nafnaþulur section of the Prose Edda.[1][5]

    In Völsunga saga he is the father of Hljóð, whom Frigg sends to Rerir as a "wish-maid" with the apple that enables his wife to conceive Völsung[6]—and subsequently Hrímnir himself sends Hljóð to Völsung to be his wife.[7] This resembles the story of Peredur in the Arthurian cycle, and the modern folktale "The Sea-Maiden."[8]

    In Gríms saga loðinkinna, he is the father of the giantesses Feima and Kleima; his wife's name is Hyrja.[9]

    Hrímnir may mean either "the one covered with hoar-frost" or "the sooty one." It is not clear whether the name is intended to evoke the frost giants or hrímþursar
