Am I wrong to surmise that it means, "frost daughter"? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] azi@mander.xyz 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes and no. It means Frosti's daughter because her father's name is Frosti (Frosti is conjugated to Frosta to mean Frosti's). All Icelandic "last names" work like that: made from the father's name and 'dottir' or 'son'. The name Frosti comes from a dwarf in the Eddur and yes is derived from the Icelandic/Old Norse word frost. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, I'm familiar with Scandinavian naming conventions. I think it leads to some cool names, but also seems to make it slightly more difficult to ascertain family relations without tracing shit back generations. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] azi@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago Reminds me of biblical genealogies.
