Etymology

Hoenir comes from Old Norse Hœnir, a name thought to mean 'high' or 'tall', which fits his strong, handsome image in the old Viking stories. A helpful way to remember Hoenir is to picture a tall, good-looking god who looks capable but often needs others for thinking, so his name links to his appearance more than his wisdom.
