Talk:Grímur Kamban

Grimur Kamban was not the first man on Faero Islands
He was the first "Landnåmmann", which means that he was the first viking on the islands. The term can be translated to "the first man to reach/claim the land", but man here doesn't mean the first human but rather the first viking or perhaps the first norweigian. The Irish had already lived on the islands for 200 years when Grimur found the them.

Proposing a renaming to Grímr Kamban
He may have been a Faroese 'founding father', but he was also a Norwegian, and projecting the modern national divisions onto the Norse names is artificial anyway, so the specifically Faroese form with -ur is not justified.--77.85.55.14 (talk) 05:08, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
