العربية: يونيكورن أصل لفظة (يونيكورن) لاتينية،.. مـُكوّنة من مقطعين unus بمعنى واحـد أو وحيد، و cornu بمعنى قرن .. أي أن اسمه باللاتينية وحيد القرن ، وهو كائن خرافي على هيئة حصان أبيض ذو قرن وحيد ، ذكر فى الأساطير الاغريقية وأتخذ كشعار لنبلاء العصور الوسطى فى أوربا
Català: L’unicorn també anomenat alicorn és un ésser mitològic amb el cos de cavall blanc i una llarga banya recta al mig del front.
Čeština: Jednorožec je bájný tvor podobný antilopě či koni s kopyty sudokopytníka. Obecně je považován za zosobnění dobra, později, v dobách křesťanství, také čistoty a panenství.
Cymraeg: Anifail mytholegol a bortreadir gan amlaf fel ceffyl gwyn ac iddo gorn hir sy’n tyfu o’i dalcen yw’r uncorn (hefyd ungorn ac unicorn, o’r gair Ffrangeg unicorne, o’r geiriau Lladin unus "un" + cornus "corn"). Mae’n symbol o ffrwythlonedd wrywaidd, fel y mae ei gorn hir yn awgrymu.
Dansk: Enhjørningen er et af de mere kendte fabeldyr. Den fremstilles normalt som en hvid hest, men med et hvidt (og ofte snoet) horn i panden. Tidligere havde enhjørninger ofte gedeskæg, løvehale og klove (i stedet for hove). Enhjørningen regnes for et ædelt og venligtsindet dyr, men den er tillige sky og lader sig sjældent finde eller tæmme.
Deutsch: Das Einhorn ist ein pferdeähnliches Fabeltier mit dem Schwanz eines Löwen, einem Ziegenbart, gespaltenen Hufen und einem spiralförmigen Horn mittig auf seiner Stirn. Es gilt als das edelste aller Fabeltiere und steht als ein Symbol der Jungfräulichkeit.
Ελληνικά: Ο μονόκερως είναι μυθικό ζώο, που παραδοσιακά παριστάνεται με πόδια αρσενικής αντιλόπης, σώμα αλόγου, ουρά λιονταριού και ένα ελικοειδές κέρατο στο κεφάλι. Αποτελούσε σύμβολο παρθενίας.
English: The unicorn (from Latin unus "one" and cornu "horn", also called monoceros by the Greek) is a mythological creature. Though the modern popular image of the unicorn is sometimes that of a horse differing only in the single spiral horn on the middle of its forehead, the traditional unicorn also has a beard of a buck, a tail of a lion, and cloven hooves — these distinguish it from a horse. The unicorn is the only fabulous beast that does not seem to have been conceived out of human fears. In even the earliest references he is fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, but always mysteriously beautiful. He could be captured only by unfair means, and his single horn was said to neutralize poison.
Español: El unicornio es una criatura mitológica representada habitualmente como un caballo blanco, con patas de antílope, barba de chivo, y un cuerno en su frente.
Euskara: Adarbakarra mitologiaren izakia da. Oro har zaldi zuri bat bezala agertzen da, lehoiaren tamaina, antilope hankekin, aker bizarra eta kopetan adar luzea. Adarra da, hain zuzen ere, adarbakararren ezaugarririk berezkoena. Luzea, itzulinguru itxuran eta zorrotza.
Français : La licorne, parfois nommée unicorne ou monocéros, est un animal mythologique semblable à un cheval blanc. Elle a un corps chevalin, une queue de lion, une barbiche de bouc, des sabots fendus, une corne très longue et très pointue, droite et spiralée au milieu du front. Elle est très féroce et aucun homme ne peut la capturer. Dans certaines parties du monde, on dit qu’elle aurait la faculté de voler.
Galego: O unicornio é unha criatura mitolóxica representada decote coma un cabalo branco, con patas de antílope, barba de chibo, e un único corno na súa fronte. Trátase dun animal fabuloso protagonista de numerosas historias e lendas. Así, na Idade Media estaba considerado coma un animal marabilloso capaz de derrotar ao elefante, símbolo de poderío. Ademais, dicíase que co seu único corno podían purificarse as augas contaminadas para volvelas potábeis.
한국어: 유니콘 (라틴어: Unicornus) 은 전설상의 동물로, 일각수 (一角獸) 라고도 불린다.
Hrvatski: Prema mitologiji, jednorog je bijeli konj s rogom na čelu, čijim tijelom teče srebrna krv. Vjeruje se da onaj tko ubije to veličantveno biće i pije njegovu krv, bit će zauvijek proklet. Osim toga, vjeruje se da njegova krv spašava čovjeka na samrti, ali spašena osoba je tada osuđena na prokletstvo poluživota. Prah napravljen od njegovog roga smatra se čudotvornim lijekom za sve bolesti. O njegovom postojanju nema materijalnih dokaza, budući da su navodni jednorogovi rogovi zapravo izduženi prednji zub narvala, rijetke vrste morskog sisavca.
Italiano: L’unicorno o liocorno è un animale immaginario dal corpo di cavallo con un singolo corno in mezzo alla fronte. Il nome deriva dal latino unicornis a sua volta dal prefisso uni- e dal sostantivo cornu, "un solo corno".
עברית: חד-קרן הוא יצור אגדתי, מהמיתולוגיות של אירופה העתיקה וימי הביניים.
Latina: Unicornis ( -is, m. ; Graece Monoceros) est fabularis creatura equo candido similans, cauda leonis, barba hirci, ungulis bisulcis, in media frontis ejus longe acutum uno cornu spirali praedita. Est bestia nimis ferox, quamquam elephantus vel leo est, quidquid fortiter impetit. Et ita properipes et acer ut nullus omnino in hominum potestatem captum potest. Sed virginem videt, in sinum virginis salit, et supra genu virginis caput ponere dormit. Et sic homo Unicornem capere potest. Sed si Unicornis comprehenderet ut ista virgo sit imitatio, violenter irascitur et eam dispergere trucidat. Cornu habet potestatem specialem et quidquid morbo efficit. Et aquam purificare potest et vim veneni depellere valet.
Magyar: Egyszarvú (lat. Unicornis, gör. Monocerosz), ló alakú mesés állat, vörös lófeje, fehér ló teste, őzlába és oroszlán farka van, homloka közepén egyenes hegyes szarvval, mely hatalmas fegyveréül szolgál.
Nederlands: De eenhoorn wordt in de cryptozoölogie beschreven als een soort wilde ezel, zo groot als een paard. Hij is wit en heeft donkerblauwe ogen. Op zijn voorhoofd draagt hij een hoorn van ongeveer 45 cm, spiraalvormig gedraaid en uitlopend op een punt. Zijn hoeven zijn gespleten zoals die van een bok, zijn staart is een leeuwenstaart en hij heeft een geitensik.
日本語: ユニコーンとは一角獣(いっかくじゅう)とも呼ばれる額の中央に一本の角が生えた馬に似た伝説の生き物である。語源はラテン語の unus 「一つ」と cornu 「角」の合成語で、ギリシア語で「モノケロス」とも言う。そのほとんどは、ライオンの尾、牡ヤギの顎鬚、二つに割れた蹄を持ち、額の中央に螺旋状の筋の入った一本の長く鋭く尖った真っ直ぐな角をそびえ立たせた、紺色の目をした白いウマの姿で描かれる。非常に獰猛だが、処女の懐に抱かれて初めて大人しくなる。このことから、純潔の象徴とされている。
Norsk bokmål: Enhjørningen (egentlig enhorning) er et fabelvesen brukt i litteratur, kunst, som allegorisk og grafisk figur, som symbol og i våpenskjold.
Norsk nynorsk: Einhyrningen er eit fabeldyr med sers gamalt opphav, kjent frå biletkunst, legender og «naturskildringar» av ymse slag i fleire område i Det fjerne Austen, Mellom-Austen og i Europa frå antikken og mellomalderen. Dette oppkonstruerte dyret vart i si tid rekna for å finnast i røynda i ei eller anna form som vilt dyr i skogane, og var elles tillagt visse kvalitetar av symbolsk art.
Polski: Jednorożec to stworzenie fantastyczne, występujące w mitach i legendach mające jeden róg wyrastający pośrodku czoła.
Português: O unicórnio, também conhecido como licórnio, é um animal mitológico que tem a forma de um cavalo, geralmente branco, com um único chifre em espiral. Sua imagem está associada à pureza e à força. Segundo as narrativas são seres dóceis; porém são as mulheres virgens que têm mais facilidade para tocá-los.
Română: Inorogul, numit și licorna sau unicorn, este un animal mitologic. Inorogul este reprezentat ca un cal alb având un corn în mijlocul frunții. Legendele descriu acest corn ca având puteri miraculoase: vindecă bolile, curăță răul, dă viață.
Русский: Единоро́г — мифическое существо, символизирует целомудрие.
Slovenčina: Jednorožec je bájny tvor podobný antilope alebo koňovi s kopytami párnokopytníka, ktorý má na čele jeden roh. Všeobecne je považovaný za zosobnenie dobra, neskôr, v dobách kresťanstva, aj čistoty a panenstva.
Slovenščina: Samorog je mitološka žival, upodobljena kot konj z enim samim, napogosteje v spiralo oblikovanim rogom na čelu (iz tega tudi izvira angeško poimenovanje »unicorn«, vzeto iz latinskih besed za eden »unus« in rog »cornus«). V mitologiji naj bi samorog imel tudi kri s čarobnimi zdravilnimi lastnostmi. Po ljudski legendi naj bi njegovo divjo naravo lahko ukrotila le devica.
Српски / srpski: Према митологији, једнорог је бели коњ са рогом на челу, чим телом тече сребрна крв. Верује се да ће онај ко убије то величантвено биће и пије његову крв, бити заувек проклет. Осим тога, верује се да његова крв спашава човека на самрти, али спашена особа је тада осуђена на проклетство полуживота. Прах направљен од његовог рога сматра се чудотворним леком за све болести. О његовом постојању нема материјалних доказа, будући да су наводни једнорогови рогови заправо издужени предњи зуб нарвала, ретке врсте морских сисара.
Suomi: Yksisarvinen (lat. unicornis, kreik. monokeros) on taruolento, jolla on hevosen vartalo ja pää, vuohen sorkat ja parta, leijonan häntä, sekä yksi usein kierteinen sarvi keskellä otsaa. Yksisarviset kuvataan tyypillisesti puhtaiksi, valkoisiksi olennoiksi, jotka antavat vain neitsyen koskea itseensä. Yksisarvisen sarvesta tehdyn juoman tai viinin juomisen yksisarvisen sarvesta tehdystä astiasta on uskottu suojaavan myrkyiltä ja toimivan lemmen nostattajana. Sarvivalaan ja sarvikuonon sarvia on usein esitelty yksisarvisen sarvina. Tarinoiden mukaan yksisarvisen saattoi saada kiinni siten, että sitoi neitsyen puuhun. Kun yksisarvinen kuuli neitsyen olevan hädässä, se tuli paikalle ja silloin piilossa väijyvä metsästäjä saattoi hyökätä.
Svenska: Enhörningen är ett mytologiskt väsen, oftast avbildad som en vacker vit häst med ett spiralvridet horn i pannan. Enhörningen avbildades även ofta med både djupgående religiösa och symboliska attribut , samt var ett föremål för en mångfald legender sedan före medeltiden.

Monoceros: The constellation of the unicorn edit

English: Monoceros, the Unicorn (Greek: Μονόκερως) is a faint constellation on the celestial equator. Its name is Greek for unicorn. Its definition is attributed to the 17th-century Dutch cartographer Petrus Plancius (1552 – 1622). It is bordered by Orion to the west, Gemini to the north, Canis Major to the south and Hydra to the east. Other bordering constellations include Canis Minor, Lepus and Puppis.
