From Wikipedia
Hug (Old Norse: hugr, Danish: hug, Faroese: hugur, Icelandic: hugur, Norwegian: hug, Swedish: håg, hug) is an old Nordic (originally Germanic) word for the mind, encompassing spirit, will, prudence, thought, understanding, reason, and more, especially the soul understood as the seat of thoughts, feelings and will etc. Today, it is the common Icelandic word for 'mind', and still regular in various Swedish phrases and compounds. Hug has a significant role in Norse mythology and folklore, among other things, related to shapeshifting. Odin's two domesticated ravens, Huginn and Muninn ("The Hug and The Mun"), are named after the overlapping concepts of hug and mun respectively (roughly "mind" and "sense" perhaps).
