The Norse name for Hermes?

Norse and Greek/Roman mythologies are completely different. Two vastly different cultures, different beliefs, different Gods altogether. So, there is no Norse name for Hermes. The Norse Pantheon does, however, have a "messenger of the Gods" just like Hermes. His name is Hermod the nimble. He is a demigod. His areas of responsibility are Luck, Physical Fitness, Communication, Chaos, and travel. Oddly enough, He also is responsible for escorting the souls of the dead to the underworld (Hel). So, to recap, He is NOT Hermes, but his name is similar and he has a number of similar duties. He is NOT a god, he is a demigod (implying he was, at one time, human). He IS the messenger of the Gods. His symbol is a winged scroll. He was the one the Norse Gods sent to Hel to barter for the release of Balder the brave when he died at the hands of Loki's treachery (hit by a piece of mistletoe, and all that).
