Meaning & History
A diminutive of Kynareth, or the name of a similar Divine (god), in the popular video game series 'The Elder Scrolls'. Kyne is the Nordic (of the Nords of Skyrim in 'The Elder Scrolls') goddess of the storm, widow of Shor, Warrior-Wife, Mother of Men, 'Kiss at the End' (as the Nords believe she leads the dead to Sovngarde), and a favored god of warriors. She is strongly associated with wind and rain, much like Kynareth, though the Nords believe Kynareth to be a 'pale shadow' of Kyne. Kyne, or Kine, also means "cow", from the Middle English kyn, from Old English cȳna, a genitive plural of cū, meaning cow.
