Origins of Old Norse Viking Names

AllThingsViking Posted on April 17, 2016 Posted in Videos - Documentaries

Very informative video about the origins of Old Norse Viking names. The names were predominantly constructed by combining two words. Suffixes were specifically male or female. The same prefixes could be used with either.

Examples like: Harald Bluetooth, Sweyn Forkbeard.
