Gymir facts for kids

Gymir is a name that can refer to two different figures in Norse mythology. When you see the name Gymir, it might be talking about either:

• Ægir, who is a giant (called a jötunn) and a god of the sea. Sometimes, he is also known by the name Gymir.
• Gymir (father of Gerðr), another giant in Norse mythology. He is known as the father of a goddess named Gerðr. It's not completely clear if this Gymir is the same person as Ægir or a different giant.
