Hvergelmir is a primordial well or spring in Norse mythology, often described as the source of numerous rivers, including some that flow through the underworld realms. The name Hvergelmir is derived from Old Norse and can be translated to Hebrew as מַעְיַן הַגֵּאָה (Ma'yan HaGe'ah), meaning "Roaring Kettle" or "Bubbling Spring." In other languages, it is known as Hvergelmir in Icelandic and Hvergelmir in Swedish and Danish. This well is situated beneath one of the roots of the world tree Yggdrasil and is associated with the dragon Níðhöggr, who gnaws at the roots and is said to dwell near Hvergelmir. The well is also connected to the concept of the underworld and the cyclical nature of existence in Norse cosmology, symbolizing both destruction and rebirth.

Wikipedia Information
Hvergelmir
Spring in Norse mythology
Hvergelmir is an important primal wellspring in Norse mythology. Hvergelmir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In the Poetic Edda, Hvergelmir is mentioned in a single stanza, which details that it is the location where liquid from the antlers of the stag Eikþyrnir flow, and that the spring, "whence all waters rise", is the source of numerous rivers. The Prose Edda repeats this information and adds that the spring is located in Niflheim, that it is one of the three major springs at the primary roots of the cosmic tree Yggdrasil, and that within the spring are a vast amount of snakes and the dragon Níðhöggr.
