In Norse mythology, ÃÂrymheimr is a home located in the giants' territory Jötunheimr. It was the residence of a jötunn, ÃÂjazi, and was inherited by his daughter Skaði, later the wife of Njörðr.
ÃÂjazi, the jötunn who originally owned ÃÂrymheimr, once abducted the goddess Iðunn from the ÃÂsir and kept her captive there. Without Iðunn, whose apples kept them youthful, the ÃÂsir began to age, and arranged a rescue. ÃÂjazi was killed while attempting to recapture her.
After the ÃÂjazi's death, his daughter â the giantess / goddess Skaði â inherited and inhabited ÃÂrymheimr. During the course of Skaði's marriage to the god Njörðr, the two separated over Skaði's preference for her home in ÃÂrymheimr.
In Old Norse the name ÃÂrymheimr is sometimes transliterated as Thrymheim in English; it means something like "crash-home", "Thunder Home", or "noisy-home". Manuscripts of the Prose Edda also contain the spellings ÃÂrumheimr and ÃÂruþheimr. (ÃÂrúðheimr is the home of Thor according to the poem GrÃÂmnismál.)
Some of the spellings may be intentional: Rudolf Simek translates the variant ÃÂruþheimr as "power house" and notes that the variant translation is a fitting name for a jötunn's home.
