notes

[6] Reginleif: Lit. ‘daughter of a mighty one, mighty daughter’. Both elements of this cpd appear in personal names. The first element is regin n. pl. ‘divine powers, gods’, and the second, ‑leif f. originally meant ‘remains, inheritance’, by transfer of meaning ‘daughter’ (see AEW: Leifr). Reginleif is also mentioned in Grí 36/8. It does not occur in poetry, but in Ldn (ÍF 1, 229), Reginleif is the name of the daughter of one of the first settlers of Iceland, Sæmundr inn suðreyski ‘from the Hebrides’.
