Rimeman

Rimeman.
Mythological neologism - the common English term, as the article concedes, is "frost giant" - that plainly involves a good bit of original research. I suggest a Merge and redirect to Jötunn.
In Norse mythology, Rimeman=hrimthurs ("rime giant," though commonly translated as "frost giant") is any one of the particular tribe of giants who are made of ice and inhabit Niflheim, a land of eternal cold. For the origins of the frost giants, see Jotun.
(The story prevalent on the Internet that "Hrimthurs" was the name of the rime giant who built the walls of Asgard with aid of Svadilfari is a misconception, probably stemming from mistaking the tribal attribution of the builder for his name. The name of the actual stonemason is uncertain; it is usually only stated that he was eventually revealed to be a hrimthurs.
The translation of "hrimthurs" as "Blast" that these stories usually cite is incorrect: the word is a fusion of (h)rim rime + thurs giant.)
The Rimeman = Qarluq in turkich mythology "Oguzname" A hero. He is the myth of the race leader oghuz khan, was rescued from snow-capped mountains, oghuz khan see his body and beard, moustachee, yebrows are rime, said: Starting from today your name is Qarluq (Qar = turkish language snow, rime, qarluq is snowman , Rimeman means), as a rimefrost of the Tianshan Mountains to the head.
