HROTHGEIR. Old Norse Hróðgeirr
(q.v.), meaning "famous spear." Also see Hrothgar.
... Sometimes the Danish or Norse
names are descriptive of local conditions, but by far the greater number
perpetuate the name of individual adventures. Arnor and Aslákr,
Bárekr and Brandi, Eindridi and Garrödr and Grimr, Hálfdán and Hrothgeir
and Ketell, Niáll, Saxi and Skapti, Sigvalldi, Thórmódr and
Thórsteinn, among a whole "here" of others, have
conferred their names on the dwellings or holdings they wrested from their
English lords... (Leicestershire Words,
Phrases, and Proverbs, Evans, 1881).
