ASOLFR. From
Ancient Norse Aasolfr
(q.v.), meaning "divine wolf," from aas and olfr.
An ancient Viking name.
The first recorded Asolfr was a Christian,
who, with twelve companions, was wrecked upon the shores of Iceland in the
interval between its settlement and conversion. They erected
buildings, resolutely refused all commerce with the heathen, and lived
solely on the produce of their fishing. A church was built where
they settled. The name has fallen into Asulf in the North, and was
paralleled by Osulf in England.
