Summary<br />
Some personal bynames in Sverri’s saga<br />
By Gudlaug Nedrelid<br />
The highly complex corpus of names to be found in Sverris saga, and the many variants<br />
of several names, invite new tentative interpretations. Most of the nicknames are interpreted<br />
in Lind (Bin.). Þorleifur Hauksson, in his edition of the saga, supports many of<br />
Lind’s interpretations, and also often refers to Finnur Jónsson (1907). But he also offers<br />
new, independent interpretations, most of which seem sound and well founded.<br />
This paper is a continuation of one read at the 14th International Saga Conference in<br />
Uppsala in August 2009 (the text is to be found at http://hig.diva-portal.org). The discussion<br />
at the conference was an encouragement to look more closely at a smaller<br />
selection of the data: names of the type referring to characteristics of various kinds. In<br />
addition, the present paper discusses or reinterprets nicknames such as Ívarr Dapi,<br />
Ívarr Silki, Áskell kussa, Óláfr Beitstokkr, Jón Trínn, Gudlaug gnitaskǫr and Óláfr<br />
Smjǫrkollr. The discussion also raises questions of language history, such as how early<br />
we can assume that a loanword from Low German was used as a nickname; and how far<br />
we can allow ourselves to rely in our explanations on apparently similar words from<br />
modern Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese, if the words in question are not found in the<br />
medieval sources.<br />
