Dellingr

Dellingr (Old Norse: Dellingr) is a figure from Norse mythology, associated with the dawn and the creation of day. He is mentioned in the Poetic Edda, a collection of Old Norse poems compiled in the 13th century, and the Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the same century. Dellingr is described as a being of great beauty and radiance, often linked to the concept of light and the breaking of dawn. His name is thought to derive from the Old Norse word dagr, meaning "day," and he is sometimes referred to as the father of Dag, the personification of day. In Norse cosmology, Dellingr's role is significant as he embodies the transition from night to day, a crucial aspect of the cyclical nature of time in Norse belief. The Hebrew translation for Dellingr is דלינגר (Delinger), and in German, it is Delling.
