Names of Icelanders. New edition. Compiled by Guðrún Kvaran and Sigurður Jónsson from Arnarvatn.
The Names of Icelanders discusses six thousand Icelandic personal names – names that Icelanders have borne throughout the centuries and up to the present day. The book is both a scholarly work and a reference work that was previously published in 1991 but has now been thoroughly revised, with around two thousand names added since the previous edition. It discusses the origin and meaning of the names, their age and frequency, including how common they are as first and second names, as well as other information and entertainment. The inflection of all the names and different spellings are also shown. ( Bókatíðindi 2011) .
