Talk:Norse Colonization of the Brendanias (Early Colonization)

Interesting article. Here's something I do, whenever I have problems with fictional Norse place names: That way you get seemingly realistic Nordic names and don't have to use something like the "Kensington" colony. --XterrorX 21:56, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Do some research on the Native American peoples in the respective region.
 * 2) Find out the name of their lands/territory and a definition.
 * 3) Use this dictionary to translate it to Old Norse.
 * 4) The Iroquois, for instance, call themselves the "people of the longhouse". This could then be translated into "Långhusbjod", "Långhusfit" or "Långhusland", which all means the same; "longhouse-land".
