Wikipedia claims:
The prefix 'fimbul' means "the great/big" so the correct interpretation of the word is "the great winter".

The name Tyr meant "god" (cf. Hangatyr, the "god of the hanged" as one of Odin's names; probably inherited from Tyr in his role as judge) and goes back to a Proto-Germanic Twaz, earlier Teiwaz, continuing Proto-Indo-European *deywos "god" (whence Latin: deus, Sanskrit: deva and Lithuanian: dievas).
From articles about Fimbulwinter (Illwinter, three winters without summer in-between that mark the beginning of Ragnark) and Tr (the one-handed god of single combat).
