The -hoggr suffix is cognate with Anglo-Saxon (English) "hew", to wit, the "dreaded Hewer / Hacker".

The vote has been active for over five days, with no consensus being reached. I count about 15 votes for the article being at Nidhogg and about 21 for moving to Níðhöggr, which is not consensus by any margin. I am not swayed by Ed Poor's argument that the policies currently in place imply this is a done deal. As Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) notices, the surveys on this still indicate considerable disagreement, and deciding the fate of an individual page based on this is a bad idea. I am therefore closing this vote as undecided and strongly discourage further moves until the broader issues are settled. Move wars are of no use to anyone.
I recommend participants continue the discussion on the broader issue of Latin-only/English page names versus diacritical/original-language page names on the page started on this: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). I have linked the vote and associated discussion to that talk page, and archived this vote (and the related discussion). None of this is meant to endorse any point of view in this matter or to curtail active discussion. Please feel free to copy or reformulate any point made at the central page. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but is preferable to proliferating the discussion over many pages. JRM · Talk 01:18, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
I've heard Nidhogg pronounced Nijhegg. How is it supposed to be pronounced. 82.29.27.35 (talk) 00:51, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

The article states:
"In historical Viking society, níð was a term for a social stigma implying the loss of honor and the status of a villain"
While this root is indeed often used in the negative, isn't it also just the same word as the English "need"? Rosengarten Zu Worms (talk) 17:53, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
There is a See Also link to a random Pokémon (Zygarde). Not sure I see the connection? 173.177.179.61 (talk) 03:07, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
