- Abstract
- The thesis identifies, via runic inscriptions and historical sources from the period, the first occurrences of personal identity and certificates in Scandinavia. Biometrical sources and cognitive, spatial, and chronological identity candidate groups as well as identity in ownership and artifacts are studied during Scandinavian Iron Age, from the Roman Iron Age (AD 1-375) to the Viking Age (AD 793-1050).
The study concludes that there is an increasing practical need for a unique personality in the transition from local tribal living patterns to regional and continental movements in chieftains and early kingdoms. The first dated names in Scandinavia dates to AD 210-260, possible names like Swartja, Wagnijo and Unwod. The oldest dated...

The first dated names in Scandinavia dates to AD 210-260, possible names like Swartja, Wagnijo and Unwod. The oldest dated name in the runic material might be the name Hiwi, found on a fibulæ in Meldorf, Germany.
Titles, names, bynames and names with relation to relatives or geographical origin becomes common during the 9th century. During the 10th century, birth dates, death date and other dates in an individual’s life becomes important. The first complete birth date in Scandinavia might be Håkon Sigurdsson Ladejarl, born during the Christmas night AD 935 and the first death date is bishop Unni of Birka who died September 17, AD 936. King Sven Tveskägg (Forkbeard) has the first complete birth and death date in Scandinavia: April 17, 963 – February 3, 1014. During the 8th century, names related to geographical sites start to occur.
The first identified register is the Icelandic Landnámabók from 930 and the earliest certificates are the seals, dating back to the 10th century. (Less)
