About Iðunn
Used as both the Old Norse and the Icelandic form of the name, Iðunn appears in Norse mythology as the goddess of apples, fertility, and youth. Often depicted as carrying a box of apples, she was responsible for guarding the fruit from which the gods ate to renew their youth.
Derived from the element Ið meaning "again, repeated", the exact meaning of the name is sometimes debated. Interpretations include " ever young", "the rejuvenating one", and "love again".
This particular form is familiar in Iceland, while Idunn is preferred in Norway and Idun in Sweden.
Pronounced EE-doon.
