Norwegian / old norse names and places

Every now and then I come across a book, movie, TV-series, fanfic, game or whatever, that mention a fictional "Norwegian" or "norse" place or person, and it just sounds so wrong it makes me either cringe or ROFL. Really. I still haven't recovered from the 1995 X-files episode, "Død Kalm", which took us to the port of "Tildeskan" where we met "Henry Trondheim", "Halverson" and "Olafsson". Hopefully this list will keep others from being that “creative” with names. :)

Common names for places, towns and villages in Norway

These names are very generic and suitable for a place, village or town anywhere (and pretty much any time) in Norway. Mix and match prefixes with suffixes for diversity. Bonus: All of these can also be used as surnames. Name (meaning) - usage

Nes (headland, cape, ness) - Standalone Bø (fenced-in field on a farm) - Standalone Fjell (mountain) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Fjell- / -fjell Haug (small hill / large mound) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Haug- / -haug Vik, Viken, Vika (inlet, the inlet, the inlet) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Vik- / -viken / -vika Ås, Åsen (hill, the hill (larger than "Bakken")) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Dal, Dalen (valley, the valley) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Berg (small mountain) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Berg(s)- / -berg Sand (sand) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Sand- / -sand Strand (beach) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Strand- / -strand Li (hill) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Li- / -li Gran (spruce) - Standalone or prefix: Gran- Bratt (steep) - prefix only: Bratt- Myr (bog, mire) - prefix only: Myr- Neset, Nesset (the headland, the cape, the ness) - Standalone or suffix: -neset / -nesset Odden (foreland, headland) - Standalone or suffix: -odden Våg (cove, bay) - Standalone or suffix: -våg Lund (grove) - Standalone or suffix: -lund Sund (sound, strait) - Standalone or suffix: -sund Skog (forest) prefix/suffix: Skog- / -skog Øy (island) prefix/suffix: Øy- / -øy øya (the island) - suffix only: -øya bakken (the hill) - suffix only: -bakken gard / gård / gården (farm / farm / the farm) - suffix only: -gard / -gård / -gården elv, -elva (river, the river) suffix only: -elv / -elva stad (old word for town/place) suffix only: -stad vannet (the lake) - suffix only: -vannet

Common words that can be used as prefix to any of the suffixes above Svart- (black) Lille- (little/small) Sol- (sun) Brei-/Bred- (wide) Stor- (big) Lang- (long)

Common Norwegian surnames (contemporary)

Heredatory surnames didn't become mandatory in Norway until 1923. Many took the name from the farm or place they lived, or just changed their primary patronyms into hereditary patronyms. Example: Helgessønn/Helgesdatter (son of Helge / daughter of Helge) became Helgesen.

Names usage Double names, like Ragnhild Johanne or Ole Martin are common in Norway. Just keep them as two names and don't use "-", and you'll be safe, even if it ends up a tongue twister. Using only one of two given names is also common practice.

In Norway everyone is on a first name basis. Students call teachers and other kids' parents by their first name, workers call their boss by their first name, we call our Prime Minister by her first name (journalists will use her title when speaking to her though). Some senior citizens still use surnames and titles when speaking of or to people their own age.

There are some exceptions. For example, a doctor may be referred to as Dr. Lastname when we speak of them, but first name is used when speaking to them. A priest is "the priest" when speaking of him/her and their first name is used when spaking to them. In the millitary only surnames (and ranks) are used. If you meet Harald, the King of Norway, in an official setting you will refer to him as "Kongen" (the king). If you run into him at the gas station, or while hiking, he is "Harald".

If you don't know someone's name it is okay to use their title, or just say "you".

Names for pets (contemporary)

Dogs Laika (f) Bamse (m) (bear) Tinka (f) Loke/Loki (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cats Melis (m/f) (powdered sugar) Mango (m/f) (mango) Pus (f) (kitty) Mons (m) (tomcat) Nala (f) Pusur (m) (Garfield) Felix (m) Simba (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Horses Pajazz (m) Mulan (f) Balder (m) - cold blood Kompis (m) (pal) Freya (f) - cold blood + characters from TV/film/books...

Rabbits Trampe (m) (Thumper) Trulte (f) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cows (yes, I am serious) Dagros Rosa Mira Luna Sara + characters from TV/film - Disney is popular, as are the Kardashians :)

Road and street names

Storgata (usually the main street) Kongens gate (the king's street) Dronningens gate (the queen's street) Jernbanegata (railroad street) Jernbaneveien (railroad road) Sjøgata (ocean street) Sjøveien, Sjøvegen (ocean road) Skolegata (school street) Torvgata (plaza street) Industrigata (industrial street) Industriveien (industrial road)

Prefixes Blåbær- (blueberry) Bringebær- (raspberry) Bjørke- (birch) Aspe- (asp) Kastanje- (chestnut) Solsikke- (sun flower) Blåklokke- (blue bell) Nype- (rosehip) Kirke- (church) Park- (park)

Suffixes -veien, -vegen (the road) -stien (the path)

Other Torvet (the plaza) - standalone or suffix: -torvet Havna (the port) - standalone or suffix: -havna Kaia (the port) - standalone or suffix: -kaia

Safe solution: use a first name or surname as prefix.

Old norse

Men’s names Agnarr (Agnar) Alfr (Alf) Ámundi (Amund) Ánarr Árngrimr (Arngrim) Askr (Ask) Auðun (Audun) Baldr (Balder) Beinir Bjørn Burr Borkr Dagfinnr (Dagfinn) Davið (David) Drengr Durinn Einarr (Einar) Eirikr (Eirik) Eivindr (Eivind) Erlingr (Erling) Fafnir Flóki Freyr (Frey) Fuldarr Galinn Gautarr (Gaute) Gegnir Geirr (Geir) Glóinn Grímarr (Grimar) Hafli Hakon Hallsteinn (Hallstein) Haraldr (Harald) Haukr (Hauk) Heðinn (Hedin, Hedinn) Helgi (Helge) Hrafn, Hrafni (Ravn) Hrafnkell (Ravnkjell) Iarl (Jarl) Ingolfr (Ingolf) Iuar (Ivar) Jafnhárr Jón Jóngeirr Kál Kiaran Klaus Knútr (Knut) Kolgrimr (Kolgrim) Kolr (Kol) Leifr (Leif) Loki Lyngvi Magnus Mikjáll (Mikal, Mikkel) Mór Morði Nesbjørn Nokkvi Oddr (Odd) Oddbjørn Oðin (Odin) Olafr (Olaf) Ormr (Orm) Otr Ouden Pálni Pedr Ragnarr (Ragnar) Ragnvaldr (Ragnvald) Randr (Rand) Róaldr (Roald) Rólfr (Rolf) Salvi Sigarr (Sigar) Sigbjørn Sigurðr (Sigurd) Skarpe Snorri (Snorre) Steinn (Stein) Sveinn (Svein) Teitr Þor (Thor/Tor) Þórbjørn (Thorbjørn/Torbjørn) Þorsteinn (Thorstein/Torstein) Tryggr (Trygg) Týr Ulfár Ulfheðinn (Ulvhedin) Ulfr (Ulf) Vakr Vani Veigr Viðarr (Vidar) Yngvarr (Yngvar) Æsi

Bynames Bynames, or nicknames, could be neutral, praising or condescending. Usually bynames described a person's

body, bodyparts, bodily features

age

kinship and descent

territorial origin

knowledge, belief, spirituality

clothing, armour

occupation, social position

nature

Examples: Eirik Blodøks (Eirik Blood-Axe), Gammel-Anna (old Anna), Halte-Ása (limping Ása). I suggest that you stick with English for bynames, or use (relatively) modern language if you are writing in Norwegian.

Surnames

Surnames weren't really a thing until 1923 when they became mandatory. Before 1923 patronyms (son/daughter of) were used, and the name of the farm you lived on was often added as an address.

For instance: Helgi Eiriksøn (Helgi, son of Eirik), who lived at the farm called Vollr (grass field), would be called Helgi Eiriksøn Vollr. If he moved to the farm called Haugr his name would change to Helgi Eiriksøn Haugr.

Patronyms

Men: Use father's first name and add -sen /-son /-sønn Women: Use father's first name and add -dotter / -dottir / -datter

Farm names

Farm names were usually relevant and derived from either the location, a nearby landmark, nature or from occupation. I suggest you stick with the modern forms for farm names.

Old Norse (meaning) - modern Bekkr (stream) - Bekk, Bekken Dalr (valley) - Dal, Dahl Horn (horn) - Horn Vollr (field) - Vold, Volden Lundr (grove) - Lund

The list of common names for places/villages/towns is still valid, although the spelling is modern. Just keep it simple and make "clever" combos based on meaning.

Sigur Rós announce limited-edition vinyl releases, reveal shitlóað of new information for upcoming Norður og Niður festival

As promised, Iceland’s favorite experimental rock sons Sigur Rós have announced additions to the lineup for next month’s sure-to-be-spellbinding Norður og Niður festival, the multifarious music/dance/art/film shindig that the band is curating at Reykjavik’s Harpa Concert Hall from December 27-31. In addition to the already-announced artists (which include the likes of Mogwai, Julianna Barwick, Sin Fang, Dan Deacon, Jóhann Jóhannsson, and My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields), the Sigur Bros have further-aroused our sonic procreation devices with the inclusion of L.A.-based producer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, German ambient trio Tangerine Dream, Icelandic dance legends GusGus, and Vaccines’ bassist Árni Árnason, who’ll be taking to the stage on opening day to showcase some of the psych-fuzz “muzak vibes” from his new solo project. Also, it was revealed that the festival’s opening ceremony will feature Sigur Rós’s orchestral collaborator Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson in a one-off performance with rímur chanter Steindór Andersen and Páll Guðmundsson on traditional Icelandic stone marimba. We’re not sure what kind of an arrangement that will end up being, but beneath the aura of those mystical Northern Lights, you can bet your most resonant marimba stone it’ll be a goddamn treat. Additionally, the great Alex Somers himself (soundboard guru/mixer/multi-instrumentalist) will be producing tracks from a collection of antique gramophones each night after the Sigur Rós set, so you’ll definitely want to check that out…if, of course, Sigur hasn’t blown your soul into an alternate dimension of time and space beforehand. And FINALLY, perhaps more importantly than all of this festival lineup announcement stuff, is the news that several super-limited edition vinyls will be released over the course of the four day festival. Notably, Jónsi himself will be releasing Frakkur, 2000-2004, a collection of solo recordings that were cut from several albums’ worth of previously unheard material (check out the record’s untitled opening track below). Icelandic multi-media artist Sigga Björg Sigurðardóttir will also be creating original sleeve designs for the first 100 copies of the record, which will be available on-site at the Harpa Concert Hall. Other rare and previously unreleased vinyls that will be unveiled at Norður og Niður include: • Sigur Rós Route One - an album created with “groundbreaking generative music software” during the band’s 24-hour drive around Ring Road on winter solstice 2016 • Liminal Remixes - a Jónsi, Alex Somers & Paul Corley collab featuring never-before-heard ambient versions of classic Sigur Rós tracks • All Animals - the deleted Jónsi & Alex EP that was released shortly after Riceboy Sleeps (this will be the record’s first-ever vinyl release) • Alex Somers - a brand new album of unreleased music from the Sigur Rós producer/collaborator All of the above titles will be launched at Norður og Niður and released in limited, 100-run editions with handmade and color-coded sleeves, in addition to a limited online release that will take place shortly after the New Year, during which the records will be available in the Sigur Rós webstore. Also, there are still a handful of single and/or full four-day passes available to the festival, so if you’re fortunate enough to have an opportunity to attend this probably-once-in-a-lifetime event, you’ll want to jump on over to the official festival website ASAP and see what’s still available.

As fall came to the islands, the day of Rosalie's wedding arrived.

The wedding celebrations were to be held at her future home - a house that Lukas Arnold had recently been granted in a neighbouring village.

While smaller and less luxurious than Rosalie's old home, the house was sturdy and well-built and held great promise for the future.

Lukas even made sure to build a rocking chair to put on the porch of the house facing the sea, with the thought that Rosalie could rest her legs there whenever she needed.

That day Rosalie Olafsson, 22, married Lukas Arnold, 24.

The celebrations were attended by the majority of Rosalie's relatives.

Aunts and uncles all were in attendance, as well as nieces and nephews (except for Émile) and several cousins.

Even Anna Olafsson (now Anna Davidsson) was able to attend, after having moved to the same village a few years back with her new husband, thus distancing her from part of the social exclusion that her children had caused.

Ulf and Inés attended as well, of course.

While they were sad to say goodbye to their youngest, it seemed that the wedding stirred up some romantic memories for the two since they spent most of the evening flirting with each other.

At the end of evening several drunk, full and happy revellers travelled their separate ways back to their homes after hours of fun.

Sadly, many of them went home unaware that they saw some of the attendants for the last time that day.

In the spring of 1764 a deadly disease reached Åland's shores.

Outbreaks of smallpox was spreading through Sweden and Finland, and soon enough it had reached Åland too.

The first member of the extended Olafsson family to fall ill was Viola's husband Abraham.

The disease was merciless, and within two weeks he was dead.

He was one of the first to be buried that year due to smallpox at the village cemetary. He would not be the last.

His death was expetionally cruel, as he and Viola had only a few months earlier had a daughter named Victoria.

Thankfully the infant somehow escaped the clutches of the illness.

Shortly after Abraham's funeral both Rosalida and Josef's children became ill from smallpox.

It took a huge toll on the children, and Rosalida lost one of her sons, Samuel, to the disease. Thankfully the rest of the children survived.

Further away the illness was rampaging through Jonas's village as well, and him, his wife and oldest son all fell ill from the disease.

They survived, although Jonas' wife was permanently blinded in one eye.

At the same time as the illness rampaged through Théodora's extended family, not too long after Abraham's funeral, Markus began to feel poorly.

Everyone's fears came true when the telltale signs of smallpox began to erupt against his skin, and he was soon bedridden from the disease.

After killing many all around the islands, smallpox had arrived at the Park family's doorstep.

Historical Info

A note: I didn't plan for this to come out around the same time as the world is having outbreaks of monkey pox (historically in 1764 & -65 Åland suffered outbreaks of smallpox), and I hope everyone is safe and okay.

Smallpox, smallpox, smallpox.... What is there to say of smallpox?

Well, a lot as it turns out.

Smallpox was a horrific disease that has killed millions of people throughout history.

I'll try to keep the gory details to a minimum, but if you've got a strong stomach then I recommend this video which explores the symptoms of smallpox in closer detail than I will be doing here.

Smallpox was a highly infectious disease that has plagued humanity for thousands of years.

The earliest evidence of it was found on mummies from 3rd century BCE in Egypt, and it was declared eradicated in 1980. So it was around for a while.

Smallpox typically began with fever, back and muscle aches, headaches and vomiting and nausea. Shortly after the first symptoms appear the affected will start to develop raised, pus-filled spots (aka pustules) with a crater-like indent in the middle. Typically the pustules first start in the mouth, and can spread into the throath and nose of the sick.

About 3 in 10 people who got smallpox died, and those who survived would develop pitted scars (pockmarks) and sometimes become infertile or blind.

It was more common for children and babies to succumb to the disease, but older people definitely got sick and died too. All in all the disease was horrific and merciless, and it's a huge relief that we've eradicated it.

In my next post the historical info will examine how people tried to treat smallpox at the time.

Shortly after the wedding disaster struck, as smallpox had once again reached the islands.

First to fall ill was Rosalie, only a few weeks into her new marriage.

While the sickness was horrible and unpleasant, she thankfully recovered with no lasting side effects.

Not too long after Rosalie fell ill, so did Anna Davidsson's husband Noah and her daughter Sara.

Where Rosalie had been lucky, Noah and Sara were not.

Both died within a few days of each other.

Elsewhere on the island Viola's family was struck by the disease as well.

Within a short amount of time of each other Birgitta, highly pregnant Karolina and Karolina's husband Adam all fell ill.

Out of all of them only Adam passed away, although Birgitta was permanently blinded.

The reach of the illness went further than just the Åland islands.

In Stockholm the disease raged as well, and while Émile Gustaf was immune after his previous experience with the illness as a small child, the family he was staying with was not.

Only Émile and the youngest child Linnea were left unaffected by the illness, as the rest of the Bergvall family one by one fell ill.

Like many others, the Bergvall family were not spared from the grim touch of death that year.

Karl-Johan and Carola both passed away.

During Théodora's pregnancy a happy occassion came when it was time for Rosalie's 18th birthday.

Inés made sure to throw a huge celebration, and family from far and wide were invited.

Another wave of Uppsala Fever had been going around the island that same year, but thankfully the family had suffered no losses and none of the attendees were ill.

Such as cousins Ingmar Bryggare and Karolina Otalbo née Karlsson.

Both of whom had married someone that same year.

Although in Ingmar's case it was the case of a rushed wedding following a scandal, which the family politely chose not to mention.

Or cousins Helga and Karl Olafsson, who had travelled all the way from the farm in the south and who both remained unmarried.

As well as cousins the birthday celebration was of course attended by as many aunts and uncles of Rosalie as possible.

Even Vilhelm managed to get time off work so that he could come and congratulate his dear niece.

Josef was also in attendance, although he had not been able to bring his oldest daughter Anna to the occassion.

She had been involved in a scandal after having two illegitimate children, and societal standards demanded she be forced to stay away.

Still, aside from topics such as Anna or Ingmar's early marriage, the occassion was a happy one and everyone mingled enthusiastically among themselves.

Rosalie had grown into a very beautiful young woman, who bore a strong resemblence to both of her parents in differing ways.

She was, as always, a very polite and proper young woman. Although the sadder events of the past decade had definitely left her with a more gloomy disposition compared to that of her other siblings.

Historical Info

This is essentially the same info from the previous Historical Info post that focused on Uppsala Fever. If you've read that one then there's no new info here, sorry ^w^''

Uppsala Fever (named after the city Uppsala in Sweden (where my step-grandma lives! :D)) was the name of a fever disease that from time to time swept through Sweden and Åland.

It usually struck during autumns from August until October.

The primary symptoms were fever and exhaustion.

It is believed that Uppsala Fever was actually usually typhoid fever or malaria, although we can't ever really be sure.

There were many different diseases that affected the populace that would come and go intermittently and who all had somewhat similar symptoms and various infection and death rates.

In the summer of 1779 Viola Olafsson passed away, leaving her four daughters behind.

Sadly her adopted daughter Aurora had moved far away, and was unable to attend the funeral.

The funeral was held in the local church, and Viola was buried next to her late husband Abraham Nilsson.

Her oldest daughter, Karolina, was now left as the inheritor of the family - in charge of taking care of her daughter Anna and three younger sisters.

While supporting a family as a widowed woman was not an easy task, Karolina had the support of the rest of her relatives behind her.

Josef and Vilhelm, both heartbroken at the loss of their older sister, were more than willing to help her in financial matters.

Still, the loss of the second oldest daughter to Ingmar Olafsson was a bitter blow to everyone, and she would be greatly missed.

In 1753 Josef and Emma welcomed their first child into the world, a little girl who they named Anna.

Around the same time Rosalie was old enough to get out of the cradle and begin walking around the home.

Rosalie had grown to look very similar to her father with his blond hair, green eyes and tan skin.

She had a large pale red birthmark that partially covered eye and nose. It had been rather light at birth, but had darkened as she aged.

Inés worried a bit that the birthmark would darken further, potentially making the girl a victim of bullying by her peers in the future.

Another thing also set Rosalie apart. As she began to learn how to walk it was becoming evident that she struggled with it to some degree, and had a slight limp.

This worried Inés far more, as she felt that Rosalie's struggle must somehow be a sign that Inés had done something wrong while pregnant with Rosalie.

Despite Inés' concerns Rosalie herself was as happy as ever and seemed completely untroubled by her birthmark and limp.

She was busy being an energetic, playful child who adored attention from her family.

For Rosalie the only worry she had was that she was often woken up from nightmares, most likely due to having a hard time getting used to being out of the cradle, and she'd often wake her parents up crying in the middle of the night.

Thankfully the poor child could often be calmed down pretty quickly and easy through some comfort and love from her parents.

In time both Inés and Ulf had developed a practiced routine to help Rosalie calm down after a nightmare and to lull her back to sleep.

Historical Info

TW: One of the sources examines 18th century notes on children born with congenital disorders which do use very ableist language. The source does not excuse the language, but I feel like a warning should be laid out for you all nonetheless.

So as you can tell Rosalie seems to have a few struggles laid out ahead of her.

Rosalie has what is known as a port wine stain birthmark, which most likely will darken as she ages. It's nothing dangerous or bad, the worst thing she may have to deal with regarding the birthmark may be teasing from other children.

Her limp, however, is a different story.

During the birth, due to her being in breech position, Rosalie developed a condition known as hip dysplasia which means that one of her hips is more likely to dislocate than the other, making it so that she walks with a slight limp.

In our current day and age such a condition could be easily identified and treated, but sadly Rosalie was not born in our current day and age and as such this is a condition she will have to wrestle with for life.

Unfortunately for both Rosalie and Inés conditions such as hip dysplasia, as well as a myriad of congenital disorders, were at the time thought to be the fault of the mother.

Basically, it was commonly believed that children were created 'perfect' and that they would be changed by a mother's imagination. Basically if she thought too much about a condition or appearance or saw something horrible or traumatic then this would result in the baby being born reflecting these impressions.

Obviously this is not how it works, but go ahead and tell that to the people of the 18th century.

The source above (fault of the mother bit) examines the notes from a midwife in the Netherlands and is just a really interesting look into the mindset at the time.

I've already given a trigger warning on this but seriously do be aware that the language used about these poor babies from the past is at times pretty horrible and do leave a bit of a bitter taste in your mouth. Especially as a disabled person myself it feels very icky, but there's no fixing the people of the past. All we can do is learn and do better now.
