Nordri

Nordri is a Nordic-origin proper noun used in a variety of linguistic and cultural contexts. The term is linked to the word for north and appears as a personal name, and it may also be found in fictional or geographic naming in Nordic-inspired works.

In Norse mythology, Nordri (Old Norse Norðri) is one of the four dwarfs responsible for upholding the heavens. The others are Suðri (south), Austri (east), and Vestri (west). The dwarf names reflect the cardinal directions, and they are referenced in medieval and later Norse literature, including sources compiled in the Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson.

In contemporary usage, Nordri is uncommon as a given name in Iceland and other Nordic countries, but it may be chosen in fantasy literature, games, or branding. As a modern transliteration, Nordri can appear as a variant spelling of Norðri in certain texts or adaptations, though it is typically treated as a unique proper noun rather than a general term.
