Etymology
The first element is cognate to la Carpates and displays the effects of Grimm's law, making this the sole attestation in any Germanic language of the inherited Germanic name of this mountain range. Tentatively, the non gem-pro - reflex of the Carpathian ethnonym may thus have been gem-pro *harbaþaz. non The second element, non fjǫll, is simply the plural of non fjall mountain.Harfaðafjǫll 211
