Man-heimar

Bedeutung des altnordischen Wortes "man-heimar"

Wie im Cleasby & Vigfusson Altnordisch-Englisch Wörterbuch definiert:

man-heimar

m. pl. (thus pronounced on the spot, not Mann-heimar, as it is often spelt), the name of a farm in western Icel.; the local legend attributes the name to English captives kept there by lady Olöf, for having slain her husband, during the English trade (1467). But at that time the word man had become quite obsolete, and so the name must be older, prob. dating from the time of the first settler Geirmund, who had been a freebooter in the British waters before he came to Icel.; he may have had his household of bondmen at this farm, see Safn i. 353 (foot-note).
