I have been checking your channel for a year waiting for you to upload this! Thank you so much!
Sorry for the long wait, have had various issues to deal with here, the last 486 verses will be up during the spring (I hope)
I dont think that the word for smith comes from Latin, i think it is Germanic in origin. We see the term being used in faroese kvæðir that date back to before the viking age, such as Sjurðarkvæði where we are told about Regin Smiður (Regin the Smith)
Why would you think the term to come from Latin in the first place? It doesn't even look latinate. The etymology is from Proto-Germanic *smiþaz, ends up as part of 𐌰𐌹𐌶𐌰𐍃𐌼𐌹𐌸𐌰 in Gothic for example (aizasmiþa, meaning coppersmith, we don't have enough Gothic available to see just the word smith alone outside of a compound. The first bit 'aiz' is cognate with 'ore' in English interestingly enough)
cool
Völsungsson, does that mean Whalesongsson?
Look up the "Völsunga saga"
Völsung was the name of the son of Rerir. He was the progenitor of the legendary Völsung line.
The original Old Norse name is rendered as Volsungr. I haven't been able to find any etymological dissection of the name. "Ungr" means young, obviously, but I'm unsure about Völs. It might come to "Young Vols", but even then, the interpretation is a bit tenuous.
One interpretation for "Vols" given in the Nordic Names wiki is "chosen". So "Young Chosen" would be the meaning of Volsungr, but I'm unsure.
@@tamerofhorses2200 Has Jackson Crawford translated Volsung yet? I'm not sure. If not, I'm sure I can find some other people to ask.
It has nothing to do with whales or songs, being chosen or being young. The -ungr is a clan suffix, meaning 'descendant of'. It's equivalent to the Shieldings (Old Norse Skjǫldungar, Old English: Scyldingas), the descendants of a man named Shield (ON Skjǫldr, OE Scyld).
So the Walsings (as is the English form of the name, from Old English Wælsingas, compare Old Norse Vǫlsungar) are originally the descendants of a man named Wals (Old Norse Vǫlsi 'rod, phallos'). In the Old Norse tradition the founder of the clan’s name has changed to Vǫlsungr, but this must be a back-formation from the clan name Vǫlsungar, and the cognate of his original name is attested as Wæls in Beowulf.
