Ím (alsoImr) is ajötunn inNorse mythology, and the son ofVafthrudnir.^[1]

TheOld Norse nameÍm has been translated as 'dust' (compare withNorw.īm 'smell',Far.ím 'soot [on a kettle]'; alsoIcel.ima 'heat',Swed.imme 'steam').^[2]

According to thestanza 5 of the poemVafthrudnismal from thePoetic Edda:

"ThenOdin went to try the wisdom

of the all-wise giant [Vafthrudnir];

to the hall he came which Im's father owned;

Odin went inside."
