Note to Þul Óðins 1III
[3] Atríðr: Lit. ‘one who rides at’, i.e. ‘one who rides to battle, attacker’ (cf. atreið f. ‘riding at, attack’ used as a military term, see CVC: at-reið; Falk 1924, 3). This is an agent noun from the strong verb ríða ‘ride’ with the adv. at ‘at’ as its first element. The name is also known from Grí 48/4 and Gylf (SnE 2005, 22), but it is omitted in LaufE. It is perhaps a variant of Atriði, a name for Óðinn or Freyr (see Anon Þorgþ I 3/3). For another possible explanation see Note to Fráríðr (st. 2/3).
