Búri is a figure in Norse mythology, known as the first god in the Æsir lineage. According to the Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, Búri was born from the melting ice of the primordial giant Ymir. His name translates to "progenitor" or "the generated one" in Old Norse. Búri is the father of Bór, who in turn is the father of Odin, Vili, and Vé, the principal gods of the Æsir. The Hebrew translation for Búri is בורי. In Icelandic, his name is also spelled as Búri, while in German, it is Buri. Búri's role is primarily genealogical, establishing the lineage of the principal gods who play significant roles in Norse mythology and the creation of the cosmos.
