Geiravör

"Walkyrien" (1905) by Emil Doepler.

In Norse mythology, Geiravör (Old Norse: Geiravǫr, "spear-vǫr"[1]) is a valkyrie attested in the longer of the two Nafnaþulur lists found in the Prose Edda.[2]

According to Rudolf Simek, the section part of the name—vör—may be identical to the name of the Norse goddess Vör, and would therefore mean "spear-goddess"; or the suffix may simply reflect the suffix vör that appears in personal names such as Geirvör and Hervör.[1]
