According to The Book of Icelanders, Godafoss got its name after Christianity became Iceland’s official religion in the year 1000. The former pagan chieftain Thorgeir threw his wooden images and statues of the Norse gods into this cascading waterfall. Godafoss, meaning the “Waterfall of the Gods”, then became its name.
