Mundilfari

Mundilfari ("The Turner"?) was a giant that lived in Midgard. He was the father of Sol ("Sun") and Mani ("Moon").
His children were so beautiful that he called them Sun and Moon. But the gods were very angry and foced the children to across the sky.

There's a moon of Saturn found on 9/23/2005 by Astronomen John J. Kavelaars and Brett Gladman, that's called after the father of sun and moon. S/2000 S 9 was it's first name, later it was renamed.
