About Annar
In Norse mythology, according to the Gylfaginning, Annar (Old Norse Annarr 'second, another') was the father of Jörd 'Earth' by Nótt 'Night'. The form Ónar (Old Norse Ónarr 'gaping') is found as a variant. Annar/Ónar is also the name of a dwarf in the catalogue of dwarfs in the Völuspá repeated in the Gylfaginning. In the pseudo-historical genealogy of Odin's ancestors in the introduction to Snorri's Edda a certain Athra is said to be he "whom we call Annar". What this refers to is unknown. (See Sceafa for discussion of the section of this genealogy in which Annar appears.)
In the Gylfaginning Snorri writes of Nótt 'Night':
She was given to the man named Naglfari; their son was Aud. Afterward she was wedded to him that was called Annar; Jörd ['Earth'] was their daughter.
Annar was a dwarf and the second husband of Nott, their daughter called Jörd.
Annar was sometimes called Onar.
