Hey, thanking you.
Where in the world are you? I'm in East Anglia, England
You have the right Vinandr, this is the gentleman concerned, i'm hoping that his name hides some secrets?
In Old Norse have you ever come across the name Gip/ Gippi/ Gyppis/ Gyppa? they all seem to relate to the same man. I'm wondering what the root meaning here is, any idea's?

Re: Gip/Gippi/Gyppis/Gyppa.
The following names are found in the following years Gippa 1150, Gippe 1188, Gippe 1202, Gyppes 1352, these seem to all be pet forms of the name Gilbert.
But there is also the name Gípr, Gippi found in Scandinavia (Norway) that may be related to the modern Norwegian 'gip' meaning "jaw".
Originally a by-name related to Modern Norwegian gip, "jaw." A few instances of Gípr are found in Norway. Gippi is not found in Scandinavia and appears Anglo-Scandinavian forms include Gippe, Gip, Ghippe.
Re: Vinandr
I've done a little more searching and have found the Old German Winand, Wignand, Old French Guinant.
I believe that 'wig' means "battle, conflict" and 'nand' means "brave, bold". I'm pretty sure that Winand, Wignand is at least related to Vinandr.
I hope this is of some help. :)
