Mjǫll is a goddess from Norse mythology. She was said to be a descendant of Fornjót and to have three siblings: Dríffa, Fǫnn, and Thorri.[1]
Name
[edit]The name Mjǫll means "fresh, powdery snow" or "fine driving snow" in Old Norse.[2][1] It is assumed because of this association of her name with snow that she is a goddess of snow.[1]
