Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Nibelung.

Etymology: < German Nibelung, singular form corresponding to Nibelungen (plural; Middle High German Nibelungen ), the name of a legendary Germanic people whose activities are related in the Nibelungenlied (see Nibelungenlied n.), cognate with Middle Low German Nivelingen ( > Old Icelandic Niflungar); further etymology uncertain and disputed.The name of the legendary Germanic people is often interpreted as a formation from the Germanic base of Old High German nibul cloud, mist, darkness (see nebula n.) and the Germanic base of -ing suffix³, frequently glossed as e.g. ‘children of the mist’ However, it has been suggested that the name is ultimately to be connected with post-classical Latin Nebulones, a name applied to the Franks, and further (less securely) with Nivelles, the name of a town in Belgium which was an important centre in the Merovingian period. For further discussion see e.g. J. De Vries Altnordisches etymologisches Wörterbuch (1961) at Niflungar.
