Etymology
Hugin (Icelandic: Huginn) belongs to the Old Norse verb huga “to think”, the related noun hugi “thought, sense” is in turn the basis for the name Hugin.[1] Munin (Icelandic: Muninn) belongs to the Old Norse verb muna “to remember”[2].
Age and meaning[edit | edit source text]
If the depiction of the rider with two birds on the helmet plate of Vendel and the depiction of equestrian figures in connection with one or more birds on Scandinavian gold bracteates shows Odin with his ravens, the ravens would already be documented as the god’s companion or helper animals for the Migration Period. Odin’s connection with ravens is documented in Skaldic kenningar from the 10th century. However, the names Hugin and Munin first appear in the Song Edda and Snorra Edda.
Snorri Sturluson ascribes a function to them that is consistent with the meaning of their name: “Two ravens sit on his [Odin’s] shoulders and tell him everything they see and hear. Their names are Hugin and Munin. At dawn he sends them to fly all over the world and they return at breakfast time. He learns a lot of news from them.”
