In Norse mythology, Nótt (Old Norse "night"[1]) is night personified. Nótt is listed as the daughter of a figure by the name of Nörvi (with variant spellings) and is associated with the horse Hrímfaxi, while the Prose Edda features information about Nótt's ancestry, including her three marriages. Nótt's third marriage was with the god Dellingr and this resulted in their son Dagr, the personified day. As a proper noun, Nótt appears throughout Old Norse literature.
