Etymology
- From Old Norse Hálogi meaning "tall flame" as a compound of Old Norse hár ("high") and Old Norse logi ("fire, blaze").
- Old Norse hár from Proto-Germanic *hauhaz (“high”), from Proto-Indo-European *kewk- (“to bend, curve, arch, vault”). Cognate with Old English hēah.
- Old Norse logi from Proto-Germanic *lugô ("liar, traitor"), cognates with Old English loga ("liar, deceiver"), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewgʰ- (“to lie, tell a lie”).
