ArchivesAsk&Embla... and Auriorla
Hi...
I was abit surprised that I didn't find the names of ask and embla here.. the two first humans according to the norse mythology here... and then I'm trying to get more info on the Italian(?) name Auriorla (not sure if it's spelled right)...

Hejsan Malin!
Ask / Askr means "ash tree" and Embla means "elm". They were, as you mentioned already, the first human beings according to the Nordic mythology.
They were created by the Aesirs Odin, Vili (Hoenir) and Ve (Lodur) out of two pieces of wood they had found on the beach. Odin gave them breath, life and spirit, Vili gave them intelligence, feelings and movement and Ve gave them appearance, face, hearing and speach.
I've never heard of Auriorla... Sounds like Aurora, Aurelia or a combination of one of those with Orla... (?)

Hejsan Satu.
Yes... as I wrotre earlier, I was surprised that I couldn't find them here when names of other mythological(?) people were here...
Auriorla might have been spelled wrong... It might be aureorla or aureurla/auriurla or something like that...
Right now I'm trying to find out where it came from... if it's scandinavian or latin or something else...
thank you for your help.
