Heil og sæl

Heil og sæl in Icelandic and Norwegian (Old Norse: heill ok sæll, Old Swedish: hæl oc sæl, Early Modern Swedish: hell och säll), roughly meaning "healthy and happy", is an old Nordic greeting phrase which is still common on Iceland. It is comparable to English ”safe and sound”.

Beyond Iceland, the phrase was also used in Sweden, up until around the 19th century. During World War II, the phrase was also used by the Norwegian Nazi party, Nasjonal Samling, as a Norwegian equivalent to the Heil Hitler-salute.
