The Old Norse name Helreginn has been translated as 'Ruler over Hel',[1] or 'Hel-power'.[2] Rudolf Simek comments that the name is unusual, reasoning that it is uncommon for a jötunn to be directly associated with "the underworld."[3]
Helreginn is listed in the þulur section of Skáldskaparmál. Other than the name, no additional information about the figure is provided.[4]
