CV = Cleasby, Richard and Guðbrandr Vigfusson.In the list below, I have abbreviated certain source references as follows: These have been included, but are shown with the headword in a greyed-out text, for example, Ákimann. Some of my sources listed names that were either hypothetical forms re-constructed based on place-name and later personal name evidence, or else doubtful interpretations from runic evidence. At this point, I'm aware that the page is really too large, and I'm working out better methods of presentation. As my knowledge of Norse naming grows, I will keep revising and updating this page.
This webpage is, and will probably always be, under development.
