Midgard

/ˈmɪdɡɑrd/ noun

Definition

In Norse mythology, the world inhabited by humans; the earthly realm between the sky and the underworld.

Etymology

From Old Norse 'Miðgarðr': 'miðr' (middle) and 'garðr' (enclosure/yard). It represents the human world in Norse cosmology.

Kelly Says

Midgard connects to modern words like 'yard' and 'garden'—Norse mythology imagined all nine worlds connected by Yggdrasil the World Tree, with Midgard as humanity's middle ground between chaos and order!
