  Nickname (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In Viking societies, many people had nicknames heiti, viðrnefni or uppnefi which were used in addition to, or instead of their family names.
In some circumstances the giving of a nickname had a special status in Viking society in that it created a relationship between the name maker and the recipient of the nickname, to the extent that the creation of a nickname also often entailed a formal ceremony and an exchange of gifts.
A nickname may be a hypocoristic form of a person's first name.

 Guide to articles
The spelling of an entry name generally follows that used in historical records and writings, and may not be the spelling that the person would have used in his or her lifetime.

Abbreviations used in the text are listed under 'General abbreviations' in the 'List of abbreviations' at the beginning of each volume.
