Etymology of ALVER

It is most commonly associated with Scandinavian folklore, particularly in Old Norse mythology where the term "alfr" referred to a type of supernatural creature, often translated as "elf". The word "alver" is the plural form of "alv" in Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish, and it is used to describe a collective group of elves or similar creatures.
