Saturn's moon Alvaldi is named after him.

Name

The Old Norse name Alvadi means 'all-powerful'. The name Ölvadi, found in Skáldskaparmál, appears to be a variant form referring to the same character.

In Hárbarðsljóð, Alvadi is mentioned as the father of the jötunn Þjazi.
In Skáldskaparmál '','' he is named Ölvadi and portrayed as the father of Þjazi, Gangr and Iði. Described as "very rich in gold", Ölvadi divides the inheritance among his sons in such a way that each may take the same mouthful of gold. According to philologist Rudolf Simek, the story is probably the remnant of an old myth.
