I've searched through a norse mythology page (unfortunately for you
in
Norwegian), and found the following:

Muspellsheim: Home of fire. The sky before creation of earth.
Represents south.

Vanaheim: Home of Vaner, a tribe of gods.

Alfheim: Home of Alfer, the Elven people (who were sometimes evil)

Midgard: The home of humans, a world built by Æser to protect
humans
from Jotuns.

Åsgard: Castle or borg in Midgard, home of Æser.

Jotunheimen: Land by the coast on the other side of the river
Elivåger. Here Jotuns had huge farms.
