Given Name

Rogned

Rogneda (f) -- Scandanavian name. Rogneda, daughter of Rogvolod Polotskoi. 980. [Tup 463] Vars: Rogned (daughter of Rogvolod). 980. [Nik IX 39] Rogned' (daughter of Great Prince Mstislav Vladimirovich). 1168. [Tup 463] Rozgneda. c980. [Ste 69] from Wickenden 2nd edition.

Norse

Ragnheiðr, Ragneiðr For the first element Ragn- see above. For the second element -eiðr see above. A short form of Ragneiðr is Ranka. GB pp. 14; FJ pp. 345; CV pp. xxxiv s.v. "Pet Names"; CV pp. 247, 488-489 s.v. heiðr, regin

Rannveig, Rognveig For the first element Ragn- see above. Found in OW.Norse as Rannveig, Rognveig. Runic examples are found in the nominative forms ranuaik, ranuauk and ronuig. NR s.v. Ragnvæig/Rannvæig, Ragn-, -væig

RagnalfR The first element Ragn- is related to Germanic *razina-, in Gothic ragin "counsel, decision", OW.Norse rogn, regin n. pl. "power, power of the gods". As a personal name element this word has the Germanic sense of "rede, counsel, decision", but in Scandinavia acquired a secondary meaning with the religious interpretation. May derive from either Germanic *ragn or the side-formen *rægin. For the second element -ælfR see above. Found in Old Swedish as Ragnælf. Runic examples include the nominative form raknilfR,/EM> and the accusative form rahnilfi. NR s.v. RagnælfR, Ragn-, AlfR, -alfR, -ælfR

Byname/Surname

-ova vs -ovicha

Per Wickenden, 3rd edition (hard copy only, the 2nd edition is the on that's online):

• "In most cases, women had the same sort of patronymics as men. However, their bynames had to agree with the gender... add an "a" on the end... Anna Vasilchikova...."
• "The same applies to patronymics written with a "-vich", which also had an "a" added to them... Sof'ia Glebovicha... This was rarer and more unusual and the true feminine counterpart to "vich" names are those ending in "-ovna/-evna"..." (!)
• "...modern Russian employs a different and more familiar feminine patronymic (i.e. -ovna/-evna)... This fourth form is rare in medieval times... Like the -vich patronymic for men... this patronymic was predominantly used only with the "Christian" name..."
• "...patronymics which end in "-vich." ...Unbegaun tells us that patronymics with this suffix were popular in Novgorod and Pskov among the upper classes. However, by the 16th and 17th centuries Moscow had restricted the use of the"-vich" suffix to only the highest dignitaries... There even was an expression, pisat'sia s vichem (the right "to have their names written with a vich"), to describe this honor, which was granted by the Tsar himself."

So... -ova is the most common ending in period Rus vs. -ovicha which is "rarer and more unusual", even in Novgorod, but it is distinctive to Novgorod. So which is more "authentic"? Submitter's choice!

Steingrimr vs Stengrim

Per the Viking Answer Lady - http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml :

• Steinn - Old Swedish as Sten and in OW.Norse as Steinn.
• Grímr, Grími - Old Swedish Grim (found as a by-name), and OW.Norse Grímr.

So Stengrim is Old Swedish and Steinngrimr is Old West Norse. So Stengrim is more authentic for a Swedish Viking Rus, but there were some West Norse Viking Rus (Harald Hardrada!) so Steinngrimr would be authentic for a Viking Rus, too.

Stein- vs Sten-

1. "ei" is grammatically and linguistically compatible with Russian, numerous examples of names with -ei- in Wickenden, both Slavic and foreign
2. Per Melnikov [sic] article, Scandinavian names fairly faithfully Russified apart from a few problematic consonants, and variable vowels
3. As with many period sources, spellings of even the same name can be widely discordant even in the same source
4. Many apparent discrepancies are due to our references being biased toward West Norse, while most Viking Rus were East Norse
5. (The spellings altered the most were consonants, since the vowels of Norse/Swedish are fairly compatible)

Scandinavian Transcription

Melnikova, E.A. (2003) The Cultural Assimilation of the Varangians in Eastern Europe from the Point of View of Language and Literacy in Runica – Germ. – Mediavalia (heiz./n.) Rga-e 37, pp. 454–465.

• "In the treaties [referring to the 10th cent. Rus-Byzantine treaties recorded in the Russian Primary Chronicle] all the names except for Oleg, Ol’ga and Igor’ are rendered in a form as close to the original as the Old Russian phonetic system allowed. At the same time there exist certain fluctuations in rendering vowels /ó/ > o and u (Óleifr > Oleb / Uleb) and /á/, /a/ > a and o (Hákon > Akun, Jakun, Arnfastr > Arfast and Fastr > Fost, the latter two occur both in the treaty of 944). The interdentals /þ/ and /ð/ that lack in Russian are systematically reflected as /d/ (very seldom /z/) and /t/ respectively (Þórðr > Turd, Guðleifr > Vuzlev). The initial Fr– uncommon in Old Russian is usually substituted by Pr– (Freysteinn > Prasten, but sometimes also Frasten). It seems that there was no stable tradition of spelling Old Norse names and the scribe was free in choosing this or that variant[859]."

Old West Norse vs Old East Norse aka Old Swedish

Per Names of Scandinavians in the Byzantine Varangian Guard and in Russia by Gunnvôr silfrahárr (Christie L. Ward)

• "Note that the names listed in this article are presented in their normalized Old West Norse forms (OW.Norse, the language used in Norway, Iceland, and other parts of western Scandinavia), which is the standard scholarly way of presenting Old Norse names. However, the greatest number of Scandinavians who travelled eastwards into Russia or east and south towards Byzantium originated in eastern Scandinavia or its colonies... From the beginning of the Viking Age, there were enough differences between the Old Norse spoken in western Scandinavia to differentiate the western dialect from that of eastern Scandinavia.

"...This is not to say that eastern Scandinavians were the only east-farers -- several famous Icelanders, and even the reknowned Norwegian king Haraldr harðráði served in the Varangian Guard in Byzantium -- but most of the people of Scandinavian antecedents in Russia and Byzantium would have been men from Sweden, Denmark, Kiev, and other East Scandinavian settlements.

https://www.s-gabriel.org/names/gunnvor/varangian/

So regarding our Scandinavian name, per the Viking Answer Lady:

• Steinn - Old Swedish as Sten and in OW.Norse as Steinn.
• Grímr, Grími - Old Swedish Grim (found as a by-name), and OW.Norse Grímr.
• So Stengrim is Old Swedish and Steinngrimr is Old West Norse.
• Thus Stengrim would be the expected Russianization for a Swedish Viking Rus, but Steingrim would be a plausible Russianization for a West Norse Viking Rus.

"So the Russian scribes were not Russifying Old West Norse "Steinn", they were Russifying Old East Norse "Sten", and doing it perfectly. Given the number of Russian names with "ei", it is completely plausible that Russian scribes would have Russified "Stein" as... "Stein"."

Pronunciation of ei:

• Old West Norse ei = [ɛi]
• Old Russian ei = [ɛ] + [i]

Above per Omniglot -

• Old Norse
• Old Church Slavonic - closer to pronunciation of Viking Era Russian
• Russian - modern Russian has complicated the pronunciation of "e" a bit.

	After Ж, Ш and Ц	After Ч and Щ	After all other consonants	Word initially and after Ь, Ъ or a vowel
Е е	[ɛ]	[e]	[ʲe]	[je]

Straight Old Norse constructed feminine byname (meaning stone-face/mask?) in case the evidence for adding the Slavic suffix is deemed insufficient

• Steina, Stæina Appears in Old Swedish as Stena. A short form of feminine names in Stein-, Stæin-. Occurs in the runic accusative form steinu. NR s.v. Stæina, Stæin- http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONWomensNames.shtml
• Gríma The first element Grím- is related to Old Icelandic gríma, "mask", and may refer to a helm which masks the face, also Grímr was one of the names of the god Óðinn. This name appears in Landnámabók for Gríma Hallkelsdóttir in ch. 22 and ch. 28. In Laxdæla saga (c. 1245) Gríma is the name of a Hebridean witch who practices deadly magic against Þórðr Ingunnarson and Kari Hrútsson, and is eventually put to death for her crimes by Óláfr pái ("peacock")

• Kolgríma For the first element Kol- see above. For the second element -gríma see above. This name appears in Landnámabók for Kolgríma Beinisdóttir in ch. 98. A short form of feminine names in Kol- is Kolla.
• Þórgríma For the first element Þór- see above. For the second element -gríma see above. A short form of women's names in þór- is Þóra or Tóra.

This happens to be identical to a special type of Russian patronymic with the simple genitive (possessive) construction!

Stengrimsdottir/Steingrimsdottir

Straight Old Norse patronymic byname in case the evidence for adding the Slavic suffix is deemed insufficient

• -r -s Grímr -> Grímsson -> Grímsdóttir http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONNames.shtml

Notes

Clearly a lightly Slavicized Scandinavian patronymic byname:

• Scandinavian Steingrimr with Slavic alternate patryonimic ending.
• Standard period patronymic ending is -ova, without the "n" although -ovna is documented and registerable.
• -ovicha is a nice option for northern Rus, Novgorod style although -ova is most common there (need to verify) and elsewhere in Rus.

Notes on Slavicization:

• The long "i" sound in the German pronunciation of Stein- is a rather alien sound in Russian.
• However, "ei" is pronounced "ay" (as in "way") in Old Norse - https://ordstirr.wordpress.com/language/old-norse-pronunciation/ and others.
• Most of the "Viking Rus" in early Russia were from Sweden, where "Sten-" is the expected form according to the Viking Answer Lady (see below). The "e" in Old Norse is pronounced like the "e" in "bet" (which is just as it would be pronounced in Russian).
• In the 10th c. Rus-Byzantine treaties, see below, "-stein-" is written in Russian as: sten, or stem.
• Ibid, "Grimr" is converted into simple Grim. That this version is acceptible to Slavic tongues is demonstrated by the Slavic name, Grimislav which is documented in Wickenden.

Conclusion: plausible constructed Slavicized paternal name "Stengrim" leading to patronymic byname Stengrimov -> Stengrimova, Stengrimovicha or Stengrimovna. The Russian "e" is pronounced like "eh" or "yeh", not like "ee" and certainly not like the "i" in "bite" (which is actually a diphthong of ah + ee).

Viking Answer Lady:

• Steingrímr - "For the first element Stein- see above. For the second element -grímr see above. GB p. 15 s.n. Steingrímr; FJ pp. 346, 349 s.nn. Stein-, -grímr; CV p. xxxiv s.v. "Pet Names"; CV pp. 216, 591 s.v. gríma, steinn; NR s.n. -stæinn, -grímR"

• • Steinn - "Found both as a personal name and as a by-name in Old Danish and Old Swedish as Sten and in OW.Norse as Steinn. From OW.Norse steinn "stone." As by-name, may reflect place-names in OW.Norse Stein-, -steinn...

• • Grímr, Grími - "Found in Old Danish as Grim (found as a by-name), Old Swedish Grim (found as a by-name), and OW.Norse Grímr. (Instances in Old Danish and Old Swedish by-names may be derived from the OW.Norse adjective grimmr "grim, cruel, atrocious".) Originally a by-name, related to Old Icelandic gríma, "mask", and may refer to a helm which masks the face, also Grímr was one of the names of the god Óðinn. This name is common in Norway and Iceland through the whole medieval period, and is frequent in Denmark and Sweden...
