"Halldórr" meaning in All languages combined

See Halldórr on Wiktionary

Proper name [Old Norse]

Etymology: From hallr (“stone”) + Þórr. Also written as Old Norse Hallþórr The philologist Eivind Vågslid claims the name comes from hǫll (“hall, house”), and þórr (“thunder”) that later got the meaning of "fishing place". This is explained by the thundering noise from water falls and how good fishing spots often are located below these. He therefore interpreted the name as “fishing-capable man in the hall or house”.
