Ullr is a male name of Scandinavian - Norse Mythology origin, meaning "Splendor, Glory". In Norse mythology, Ullr is associated with skiing and archery. The name derives from the Proto-Germanic form *Wulþuz, meaning "Glory". Ullr's significance in ancient Germanic paganism is suggested by place-name evidence from Scandinavia. In literary tradition, Ullr is mentioned in works such as Gesta Danorum and the Poetic Edda, where he is described as a winter-god and second only to Odin. In modern times, Ullr is revered within the winter skiing community in Europe as the Guardian Patron Saint of Skiers. The town of Breckenridge, Colorado holds an annual "Ullr Fest" to win his favor and bring snow to the ski town. Ullr is also depicted in the video game Smite and the television series The Almighty Johnsons.
