The t-rune is named after Týr, and was identified with this god. The reconstructed Proto-Germanic name is *Tîwaz or *Teiwaz.

Tiwaz is mentioned in all three rune poems. In the Icelandic and Norwegian poems, the rune is associated with the god Týr.

Old Norwegian
Týr er æinendr ása;
opt værðr smiðr blása.


Tyr is a one-handed god;
often has the smith to blow.

smiðr blása -> To blow on the coal making them hot for metal working

Old Icelandic
Týr er einhendr áss
ok ulfs leifar
ok hofa hilmir
Mars tiggi.


Tyr = god with one hand
and leavings of the wolf
and prince of temples.

Old English
Tir biþ tacna sum, healdeð trywa wel
wiþ æþelingas; a biþ on færylde
ofer nihta genipu, næfre swiceþ.
