Ullr (Old Norse: Ullr) is a god in Norse mythology, associated with archery, skiing, and hunting. His name is often translated to Hebrew as אולר (Uler). In Old English, he is known as Uller, and in Old High German, he is referred to as Uollo. Ullr is depicted as a skilled archer and hunter, often riding a sleigh pulled by goats. He is also known for his beauty and is sometimes associated with the god Tyr as a potential son. Ullr's prominence in Norse mythology is evident in the fact that he is one of the few gods to have a month named after him, Ylir or Ylul, which corresponds to the modern month of December. Despite his significance, Ullr's role in the myths is relatively minor compared to other major gods like Odin and Thor.
Norse deity
In Norse mythology, Ullr is a god associated with skiing. Although literary attestations of Ullr are sparse, evidence including relatively ancient place-name evidence from Scandinavia suggests that he was a major god in earlier Germanic paganism. Proto-Germanic *wulþuz ('glory') appears to have been an important concept of which his name is a reflex. The word appears as owlþu- on the 3rd-century Thorsberg chape.
