Choosing an old norse name
I was thinking of taking on an old norse name. I came up with the personal name of Úlfsteinn and the patrynom of Hloðvarrson. I'll break down the reasoning behind these choices. Úlfsteinn means "wolf-stone". I chose this as my personal name because my given name is Peter, which means rock, and I've always felt at one with the wolf. now Hloðvarrson is a little tricky. Hloð means "fame" and varr means "warrior". I combined those to make "famous warrior", which is meaning of Luis, my fathers given name. I added "son" on the end of it to make patronomic. "Son of the Famous Warrior". so now my questions. is Hloðvarrson a correct patronom? next, how would I write both names in the elder fuþark? I intend to burn this name in to a staff I'm making. |

Re: Choosing an old norse name
Whichever one seems most important to you at the present moment is the one you should choose. Úlfsteinn seems to be the better choice for obvious reasons. |
