What are Odin's two ravens named?

Odin’s two ravens are named Huginn and Muninn. Their names are usually interpreted as relating to thought, mind, memory, or intention, though their exact Old Norse meanings overlap and are debated.

In the Poetic Edda poem Grímnismál, the ravens fly across Midgard each day and report what they see to Odin. The Prose Edda adds that they perch on his shoulders and tell him everything they observe. This information-gathering role helps explain Odin’s association with wisdom and his title Hrafnaguð, meaning “raven-god.”

They are often confused with Geri and Freki, who are Odin’s wolves, not ravens. Huginn and Muninn are also more than generic messenger birds: surviving poems and later medieval accounts consistently identify them as a specific pair. Archaeological objects from the Migration and Vendel periods have been interpreted as possible images of Odin accompanied by his ravens.
