Donder (or Donner)
Donder
Donner is Rudolph's father.
Two of the reindeer names, Donner/Donder and Blitzen, are often the source of confusion, misspelling, and misinformation. The short facts are these: Donner/Donder and Blitzen were named ''Dunder'' and ''Blixem'' (the Dutch words for ''thunder'' and ''lightning'') in the original printing of "A Visit From St. Nicholas." In reprints of the poem, the names became ''Donder'' and ''Blixen,'' then ''Donder'' and ''Blitzen'' (the latter being German for ''lightning''). By the time Johnny Marks wrote "Rudolph," it was ''Donner'' and ''Blitzen'' (possibly because ''Donder'' was musically awkward). See Snopes.com for a thorough discussion.
Dasher, Dancer & Donner (Santa's reindeer) (Donner is also spelled as Donder or Dunder)
It could be "Donder" meaning Donner (one of Santa's reindeer). His name is German for thunder.Even the author of "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (The Night Before Christmas) misspelled it as "Donder" and "Dunder" in some versions of the poem.* The letters roddne spell "droned."
These letters can be unscrambled to spell two different words.They are droned and nodder.If you found these letters in an unscramble Christmas words, then it is Donder. Donder is one of Santa's reindeer. He is more often called Donner (German for thunder, as Blitzen = lightning), but if you research it, you will find that Donder was the original spelling.
