Our Family Caring for Yours
Eir (“EYE-eer”) is a figure from Norse mythology. Spelled ᛖᛁᚱ in the Elder Futhark, a runic alphabet. The
name Eir means “Helper, peace, mercy.” Eir is attested in the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda (written by
Snorri Sturluson), and in Skaldic poetry. One such reference of EIR includes a 12th to 13th-Century runic
inscription in Bergen, Norway. From these sources, EIR is seen as one of the handmaids of Frigg, the
companion of a healer jötunn named Menglöð, a Valkyrie, or an Æsir (Aesir) goddess. Eir is associated
with medicine, healing, and medical skill. Snorri accounts her as “a very good physician,” and among the
most important goddesses.
As a goddess, Eir has been compared to the Greek goddess Hygieia, from
which the word ‘hygiene’ derives. As a Valkyrie, Eir had a unique function. While Eir would follow her
sisters to the fields, she would choose who would live. Eir would also help those who survived heal,
recover, and return to health.
From Eir we derive the designation of Home HELPers for our home care aides. We strive to aid and help
seniors in the aging process and their battle of life.
