Icelandic
Etymology
is :der ru:Рю́рик
Borrowed from English and Scandinavian languages. The popular serial novel The Gunmaker of Moscow by American author Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., available in Icelandic translation as is Valdimar munkur, seems to have influenced the earliest uses of the name in Iceland. At least one person in Iceland (born 1903) was named is Rúrik Nevel, after the book’s protagonist (en Ruric Nevel in the original). The forms in English (en Ruric, en Rurik) and Scandinavian (Danish da Rurik, Swedish sv Rurik) are borrowed from is ru Рю́рик, itself borrowed from an Eastern variant of is non Hrœrekr, ultimately from is gem-pro *Hrōþirīks, whence also the Icelandic form is Hrærekur.
