Name

The origin of the name Шаблон:Lang is unclear. The second part is certainly related to the Old Norse verb Шаблон:Wikt-lang ('to offer'), but the meaning of the first element has been debated.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Most scholars connect it to the Old Norse Шаблон:Wikt-lang ('gravel, wet sand or earth, mud'), and translate Шаблон:Lang as 'gravel-bidder' or 'gravel-offerer'.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn This interpretation is encouraged by Aurboða's relationship with Gymir and Gerðr, who have also been regarded as chthonic beings in scholarship.Шаблон:Sfn An alternative theory is to translate Шаблон:Lang as 'gold-bidder' by comparing the first element to a word Шаблон:Lang (from Latin Шаблон:Wikt-lang), as suggested by the depiction of Aurboða as a girl rather than a jötunn in Fjölsvinnsmál.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn According to philologist Rudolf Simek, however, the testimony of Fjölsvinnsmäl is probably secondary, and the root Шаблон:Lang is also found in the names of other jötnar and dwarfs such as Aurgelmir and Aurvangr.Шаблон:Sfn

In Fjölsvinnsmál (The Lay of Fjölsvinn), another figure named Шаблон:Lang is mentioned as one of the nine maidens sitting at the knees of their mistress the jötunn Menglöd.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The name Шаблон:Lang is sometimes anglicized as Шаблон:Transl.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Attestation

In both Hyndluljód (The Lay of Hyndla) and Gylfaginning (Beguiling of Gylfi), Aurboða is portrayed as the mother of the jötunn Gerðr.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Poem quote Шаблон:Poem quote
