Helgi

Helgi means holy and is an old Nordic name still used in e.g. Iceland. Helgi or Halga (Beowulf) was a Danish Scylding/Skjldung king. He was the son of Halfdan (Healfdene), the brother of Hrar (Hrothgar) and the father of Hrlf Kraki (Hrothulf). Helgi was killed in battle by the Swedish king Adils (Eadgils), and was succeeded by Hrar and Hrlf Kraki. See also Origins for Beowulf and Hrlf Kraki for more on the historical background of these characters. Saxo Grammaticus appears to have confused him with Helgi Hundingsbane. The name is sometimes Anglicized as Helge.
