The etymology of the name Mjollnir is uncertain, but it is probably related to ON mala "grind", or molva "crush", with possible cognates in the Russian molnija or Welsh mellt, which both refer to "lightning".

Mjollnir was ranged against the cross, and as much as the cross influenced the development of the hammer, so the hammer left its mark on the symbolism and use of the cross in medieval Scandinavia, and the mighty thunderclap of that duel still echoes through the ages.
