Meaning & History
Harimella is a Germanic goddess known from an inscription in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The first element of her name is derived from Germanic *xarjaz (harjaz) "army", the second element -mella is of debated origin and meaning. Theories include a derivation from Old Norse mjöll (and ultimately Proto-Germanic *mella) "snow, new snow", Old Irish mall "slow" and Germanic *maþlan "gathering; gathering place".
