notes
[1] Eitill: Perhaps originally a nickname, either ‘short, stout fellow’ (cf. ModIcel. eitill m. ‘a nodule in stone, iron, or the like’; Björn Sigfússon 1934, 128) or ‘hard as flint’ (for further explanations, see ÍO: eitill). In Old Norse, Eitill is attested only as the name of Atli’s young son who was killed by his mother, Guðrún (Akv 37/3, Hamð 8/3), but it is found as an element in Swedish and Norwegian farm names (e.g. Etilstun, Eitilstadir).
