The short answer is: Yes Mjolner is the name of the hammer of the god Thor. According to the Mythology, this hammer is the perfect tool that cannot fail, that grows with the task, and always returns to the hand of Thor if he throws it at something. Finally about the pronunciation of Mjolner: For English people the "spelling of the pronunciation" could be: "Myolner" or "Myulner", and for people it could be: "Mieulnor".
