Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Norse Ullr (“Ull”), with loss of the Old Norse nominative ending -r. The Old Norse theonym is from Proto-Germanic *wulþuz (“glory, splendour”), also continued by Gothic 𐍅𐌿𐌻𐌸𐌿𐍃 (wulþus, “glory, wealth”) and cognate with Latin vultus (“face, countenance; expression”). The name therefore originally meant approximately “the glorious one”. The related Old Norse divine name Ullinn is preserved in Norwegian place names including Ullensaker and Ullensvang. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk Ull, Danish Ull, Swedish Ull and Icelandic Ullur (“Norse god”).
