Halldórr
Old Norse
editEtymology
editAlso written as Old Norse Hallþórr
The philologist Eivind Vågslid claims the name comes from hǫll (“hall, house”), and þórr (“thunder”) that later got the meaning of "fishing place". This is explained by the thundering noise from water falls and how good fishing spots often are located below these. He therefore interpreted the name as “fishing-capable man in the hall or house”.[1]
