The following is a list of bynames (nicknames) taken from The Old Norse Name, by Geirr Bassi Haraldsson (a.k.a. G. Fleck). Dr. Fleck collected his data from three main sources, the Landnámabók, the Íslendingasögur, and Snorri's Heimskringla. Some of these sagas are more trustworthy than others as historical sources; the bynames below have all been extracted from the Landnámabók.
I have used Dr. Fleck's spellings, which are the normalized Old Norse spellings. The numbers are also taken from Dr. Fleck's work, but the names are re-sorted here in order of popularity.
Old Norse uses two letters that are not found in the standard Roman alphabet. þ is the letter "thorn," pronounced like the \th\ in thorn. ð is the letter edh pronounced like the \th\ in this.
A few notes before we proceed to the list: there are essentially two types of bynames. One follows the given name as a second word, the second is prefixed to the given name to form a compound word. For example, kráka 'crow' would follow the given name, e.g. Þorsteinn kráka 'Þorsteinn the crow,' while Kráku- 'crow' is a prefix, e.g. Kráku-Þorsteinn 'Crow-Þorsteinn.' Bynames that are prefixed to the given name are identified in the lists in two ways. They are capitalized, and they end in a dash, meaning that they are hypenated with the given name. Bynames that follow the given name do not have the dash and are not capitalized, as was usual in Norse naming.
While most of the bynames are used by both men and women, there are a few that take different forms depending on the gender. A good way to tell the difference is that the feminine forms will use the definite article in rather than inn, and will end in a instead of i, generally.
The first list is the entire list of bynames, in alphabetical order. The second list is an extraction of those bynames that are specifically characteristic of women.
