Odd nicknames
What are some examples of Old Norse first names?
Several prominent Old Norse first names were originally nicknames, such as Snorri and Grettir, and there are many examples in Íslendingasǫgur showing how the first bearer of a given name inherited it from a deceased relatives nickname.
Why are nicknames important in Old Norse literature?
The quantity of nicknames in Old Norse literature is incomparably rich, and recurring nicknames provide a tool for understanding saga transmission, cultural history, slang, and etymology. The pool of first names was limited in Old Norse society; thus, many people were identified by not only their first names but also their nicknames.
Are nicknames hyphenated?
Most often they are found in apposition to a name, although nicknames, unlike other bynames, frequently occur as hyphenated nouns or adjectives (prefixes) to a proper name (cf. the variation Atli grautrporridge ~ Graut-AtliPorridge-¶ Atli).
Which verbal expressions are used to give nicknames?
The verbal expressions used to give nicknames are not numerous. An example of the phrase auka nafn add a name is found in Chapter 1 in Ketils saga hœngs, which gives a typically legendary account of Ketills nickname hœngr (male) salmon, reflecting an overlay of medieval etymology.
