English: In the Germanic mysticism of the early 20th century the Man rune (identical in shape to the Elder Futhark Algiz) came to be understood as symbolizing "life" and called the "life rune", in German Lebensrune, and widely used within the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany. The Yr rune came to be seen as the "life rune" inverted and interpreted as "death rune", Todesrune. During the World War II era, these two runes (ᛉ for "born", ᛦ for "died") came to be used in obituaries and on tomb stones as marking birth and death dates, replacing asterisk and cross symbols (* for "born", ✝ for "died"). The term "death rune" has been used in the context of esotericist or occultist aesthetics associated with black metal.

Norsk bokmål: Dødsrune, etter tysk Todesrune, var de tyske nazistenes kallenavn på runetegnet «yr» (ᛦ) i den yngre, skandinaviske runerekka.
