About the Elder Futhark
The Elder Futhark is the oldest runic alphabet, used by Germanic and Norse peoples from roughly the 2nd to the 8th century. It takes its name from the sounds of its first six runes: F, U, Th, A, R, K. Runes were carved into stone, wood, and metal, and were used for everything from memorials to maker's marks.
Because runes represent sounds rather than modern letters, this generator uses a common approximate mapping. It is ideal for decorative and creative purposes — fantasy fiction, game names, art, and designs. For a tattoo or anything permanent, it is worth confirming the spelling with a runologist.
