Hello every one!
My name is Lauren and I am interested in researching all things viking
for my SCA persona. I am trying to translate my SCA name into old norse
and am not having any luck. I found this group by searching out old
norse language on yahoo. So here I am! I hope I have found the right
place.
My persona is early 800's swedish viking. I have chosen the Birka trade
township as my "persona origin". I have discovered that in that period
the swedish language had not even been developed yet and that pretty
much all the vikings were speaking old norse.
The name that I have been going by in the SCA is Stella Gudinnasdottir
which I choose to translate to mean Star Goddess Daughter. However
Stella is the Latin word for star. So here are the words I am trying to
translate: Star and Goddess.
I am greatful for any help you can give me on this and am looking
forward to learning more about the old norse language from the norse
course site!
Blessings!
