Meaning of the Name
In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is the "World Tree", a gigantic ash tree, thought to connect all the nine worlds of Norse cosmology. Asgard, Álfheimr and Vanaheim rested on the branches of Yggdrasil. The trunk was the world-axis piercing through the center of Miðgarðr (often called Midgard), around which Jötunheimr was situated, and below which lay Nidavellir or Svartálfheim. The three roots stretched down to Hel, Niflheim, and Muspelheim, although only the first world hosted a spring for Yggdrasil (see below).
