Ovaettr Means Monster: Origins of A Name

óvættr (noun) ‘evil creature’ – ‘monster’ – ‘evil spirit’

Adapting a “if you make me out to be a monster, I will become a monster and be proud of my power” moment of my life into an identity online, I donned the name ‘ovaettr’ as an English simplification of óvættr the root word of my identity.
