MJOLNIR, is the name of the Norse god of thunder, Thor, it was the name of his Hammer
MJOLNIR
Definition: The legendary weapon of the Norse God Thor. "Mjolnir" means "lightning." Made by the Dwarves Brok and Eitri, it possessed magical qualities. It would magically return when thrown, and was used for healing and even resurrection.
The hammer was feared by the enemies of the Aesir, and stolen by the frost Giant Thrym, who demanded the goddess Freyja in exchange for its return. Instead, Thor disguised himself as the goddess, siezed control of the hammer, and slew all of the giants in the hall.
The Thor's hammer is often used as an emblem of recognition for members of the Asatru faith.
