Kjartan
Kjartan (Icelandic: [ˈcʰar̥tan]; Faroese: [ˈtʃʰaɻ̊ʈan]) is a masculine given name found most prominently in the Nordic countries. The Old Norse name Kjartan was a shortening of Mýrkjartan, from Old Irish: Muirchertach, the name of an Irish king whose daughter Melkorka (Old Irish Mael Curcaigh, "servant of Curcach") was brought to Iceland as a slave. The Irish name Muirchertach, meaning "mariner", is modernised to Muircheartach, anglicised as Murtagh.
