Mirkwood is an anglicised version of the norse word Myrkvidr first used by Sir Walter Scott and later made more well known by J.R.R. Tolkien.

The words meaning is black or dark forest and it is mentioned in several norse sources including multiple places in the Poetic Edda and several other sources

In Volundkvida Volund  and his two brothers meet three swan maidens by the shore of a forest lake and they become three couples living together for nine winters before the maidens turns back into swans and fly away

Maids from the south

through Myrkwood flew,

Fair and young,

their fate to follow;

On the shore of the sea

to rest them they sat,

The maids of the south,

and flax they spun
