This is a 'work in progress' page for names from this source, and changes/additions will be made withhout notice.  This page gives background information for this source, and a .pdf will be produced when the female names are compiled. For the purposes of SCA name documentation, copies from the original document will be needed.  Please send me an email via the contact form on the left for assistance.
A couple of quick notes on the Middle Norwegian orthogrophy (more to come later):
  • 'i' and 'j' are used relatively interchangeably, as are 'u' and 'v'
  • 'ð' has fallen out of use for the most part in comparison to Old Norse, but can still be found in a couple of names
  • the scribes seemed to love the letter 'h', which accounts for many of the spelling variations but has little effect on the pronunciation
  • most of these names have a modern Norwegian counterpart
