Etymology
"Isengrim" is of Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from isen meaning "iron" and grim meaning "fierce".
It is likely Isengrim is named after an earlier Isengrim, but it is notable that "Isengrim" is the name of a wolf who appears in many medieval epics, including the story of Reynard the Fox which originated in French folklore.[2]
