[darkesword2020]

Totally! Thanks mate I had a friend ask me and I had a hard time pronouncing it as well lol.

I think Sean's right, go and watch the making of Halo 2 videos again. They define it in there I believe.

Since Mjolnir is Norse, and they use the J for a Y sound (since they don't really have a Y), Muh-yole-near is close to phonetically correct....

Though Dictionary.com says differently.

It's definitely MEE OL NER.

I used to pronounce it Em Jol Nir. But that's totally wrong.

What is MJOLNIR Armor?

Well first off, it's pronounced Mee Yole Near, yes - the "j" is pronounced like a "y". It is named for the hammer that Thor used in ancient mythology.

The origin for the word "Mjolnir" is unknown though eptymological speculation has provided thories for its literal translation. The Icelandic verbs mølva (to crush) and mala (to grind) have been suggested as possible translations while another theory suggests that Mjolnir might be related to the Russian word mólnija and the Welsh word mellt (both words being translated as "lightning"). This second theory parallels with the idea that Thor was the god of thunder, therefore might have used lightning as his weapon.
