If Lejon means “lion” in Swedish, what does “Wurms” mean in English?

The zookeeper’s name “Wurms” has the same root as the English “warm.” It’s also a variation of the German city name “Worms,” (pronounced “vorms”), named for the Worm river fed by warm springs....and of course having nothing to do with our word worm.

What it looks like.

I know that Luther defied the Catholic Church on some important matters, and they made him go on a Diet of Worms.
