 | | Midgard (the common English transliteration of Old Norse Miðgarðr), Midjungards (Gothic), Middangeard (Old English), Midgård (common Danish and Swedish), Midgard or Midgård (Norwegian) and Mittilagart (Old High German), from Proto-Germanic *medja-gardaz (*meddila-, *medjan-, projected PIE *medhyo-ghartos), is an old Germanic name for our world, the places inhabited by men, with the literal meaning "middle enclosure". |
 | | According to the Eddas, Midgard will be destroyed in Ragnarok, the battle at the end of the world. |
 | | In Gene Wolfe's Wizard Knight series, the middle world is called Mythgarthr, which has a resemblance to Midgard. |
