Fenrir
[ˈfɛn.riːr]Meaning
Old Norse Fenrir, usually explained as "fen-dweller"
Background Story
Fenrir is an Old Norse name usually thought to come from fen, "fen", giving the sense "fen-dweller", though that leaves the -rir suffix unexplained. An alternative proposal derives it from a hypothetical *fenr, "food", plus the suffix -ir, meaning "feeder". In Old Norse texts the name belongs to a monstrous wolf, who is also called Fenrisúlfr, "Fenrir's wolf".
