Meaning & History
Means "ship of the dead", derived from nagl ("dead person") and far ("ship; passage on a ship"). In Norse mythology this is the name of a ship helmed by HYMIR (or LOKI, depending on the text), which will put to sea at Ragnarǫk and take the inhabitants of Múpellsheimr to fight the gods. It is built from the nails of the dead.
