Old Norse
Etymology
Probably from non bíldr edged weapon, bloodletting knife, thus meaning "The Edged Weapon". Ultimately from non gem-pro *bīþlą axe, instrumental noun from gem-pro *bītaną to bite. Chester Nathan Gould, "Dwarf-Names: A Study in Old Icelandic Religion", in Publications of the Modern Language Association of America, Vol 44 (1929), issue #4
However, compare gem-pro *bilją blade, axe, which could have influenced its development.
