Helreginn ( Old Norse: [ˈhelˌreɣenː], "Ruler over Hel" or "Hell-power") is a jötunn in Norse Mythology.
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 jötnur 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]
