Brief Bio

In Norse mythology, the goddess Rán and the jötunn Ægir both personify the sea, and together they have nine daughters who personify waves. Each daughter's name reflects poetic terms for waves. The sisters are attested in the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. Scholars have theorized that these daughters may be the same figures as the nine mothers of the god Heimdallr.

The Daughters:

Blóðughadda - Bloody-hair

Bylgja - Billow

Dröfn (or Bára) - Foaming Sea

Dúfa - Wave

Hefring (or Hefrenög) - Lifting 

Himinglæva - Transparent-on-top

Hrönn - Wave

Kólga - Cool-wave

Uðr (or Unnor) - Wave
