What's about origin of Mimir? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.86.230.114 ( talk • contribs) 13:54, 21 April 2008
I am of the understanding that Mimir was a giant rather than a God, which he is said to be in the article Mimir's Well. After all Mimir did live in Jotunheim, the realm of the giants, and this is were the Well existed too. User:Yggur 09:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps such an issue as identification of exactly what race Mimir belonged to and the confusion surrounding it should be noted within this article. User:Yggur 09:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.163.44.240 ( talk)
according to a another site "Mimir" or how it is refered in the other site "Mirmir" but is refered as so consistantley. Mimir fathered the Alfar/Elven race. see "Dwarves" entry: "Dwarves - See Svartalfar or Dvergar. Dwarves were Ivaldi's sons, but the Elves were Mirmir's sons. The Dwarves are short and greedy beings that were magots in the prehistoric Giant Ymir's body. Like goblins they fear the sun. The Dwarves are often evil-minded, but they are talented smiths and they have forged mostly of the Æsirs' treasures. They live in knotholes and caves, some of them in Svartalfheim.

As shown, inter alia, by the editors on this page, the WP:COMMON WP:ENGLISH name of this figure is Mimir, not the hypercorrect Mímir. We can (and should) mention the accented use in the first line but we shouldn't pretend that's actually the only (or even usual) correct form in the English language. — LlywelynII 22:52, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Look; past things, what I have seen that it originated from Britain, but it just does not make any sense. Cause I have researched and Mimir keeps popping up, plus Mimir was the Norwegian God Odin's uncle. And the British claim that Mims came from a town in Britain in the 12 century and those particular Britain's call themselves Norfolk. I just don't buy it, cause 23 and me says I am of Scandinavian descent and my last name is Mims. And up to the 12th century our last name was pronounced Mimms. 2601:4C3:8100:CCF0:19F2:4181:AEE1:1287 ( talk) 21:23, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
