While doing this, I started to think of a silly article that I found on the web, and that was meant to be serious. While I prepare my book and try to continue my “Into the Shadows” story, I promised to do it and I will do it. My old post about “why Loki Laufeyjarson?”:

The question is, who was his mother? Laufey means leaf, we could think that it is a nickname and that she was actually a goddess of Asgard and history has hidden her name, in Marvel Frigga she is the mother of Loki, because all the fans identified with that, she loves him and she earned that place, she is Asinya, Marvel scores a point. Surely Marvel thought this was confusing to explain so they decided to respect the hierarchy but to do this in the simplest way, his father was Laufey. Thor’s mother was Jord, a Jotun but his father was Odin, an Asgardian so he is Odinson, but Loki is Laufeyjarson because his mother has the highest rank. In mythology Loki’s father is Farbauty and Laufey is his mother but his last name is still Laufeyjarson.īut if the Nordics use patronym, why does Loki carry his mother’s last name?īecause the Nordics respected a degree of hierarchy, Asgard was the world with the most power, so they used the name of their Asgardian parent, in general men were those Asgardians, that’s why Loki’s last name is Laufey because his mother belonged to Asgard and not his father as in the case of Thor or Odin. “Loki in MCU” (Part II) Why did Marvel decide that Laufey was Loki’s father?
