Glamdring from the tolkien books meant star from the north if I'm remembering correctly
-Glamdring is actually Sindarin Elvish for Foe-hammer. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glamdring#Glamdring)
Actually, the literal translation of glam is 'noise', not 'foe'. 'Foe-hammer' comes from glamhoth dring, 'noise-host hammer' - glamhoth is an Elvish term for Orc(s).
