The name 'narwhal' derives from the Scandinavian term for the inhabitant of the Arctic waters. The actual word in Danish and Swedish is 'nahrval'. That term traces back to the much earlier, Old Norse 'nar', which means 'corpse'. The word describes the creature's grey, mottled look that reminds many of that of a drowned sailor.
