Dellingr

Meaning

Proper Noun

• The dawn god of pagan Scandinavia.

Origin

• From Proto-Germanic *Dagilingaz; if the name means "dayspring," then it is derived from *dagaz; if it instead means "the shining one," it would be from an obscure Germanic root meaning "shining," "proud," shared with Old English deall ("proud, bright") and possibly the second element of Old Norse Heimdallr.
