Help[Opinions] Re: Icelandic names (from a book written by J. K. Stefánsson)
in reply to a message by Felie
Ciao Felie!
I don't speak Icelandic, but I know the pronounciation pretty well, so I'll try to help.
Th = as in English word "think".
Dh = as in English word "the".
Jón - pronounced youn
Sólrún - probably means "sun secret". Pronounced SOUL-roon
Daviđ - DAH-vidh
Þuriđur - THOO-ri-dhur. See Turid.
Guđjón - GOODH-youn. Combo of "god" + John.
Ágústa - OW-gus-ta
Simmi - nickname, perhaps of Simon.
Bogga - nickname, perhaps of Borghildur.
Ásgrímur - "masked god", pronounced OWS-gree-mur
Jakob - YAH-kop
Geir - gayr
Kiddi - nickname, not sure for what, perhaps Kristján.
Þor - thour
Heiđa - HAY-dha, I think this means "bright; clear".
Steinunn - STAIN-oon, "stone wave".
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
