Heri

Héri is a male given name in the Faroe Islands. The earliest mention of the name is in the Flateyjarbók (in which the spelling is 'Héri'), partly concerning the Viking age history of the Faroe Islands, written around 1380 in Iceland. In this story Heri Sigmundsson is the youngest son of Sigmundur Brestisson. Heri is a very common name in the Faroe Islands today, probably not surviving as a traditional name, but more likely revived and put into use again in later times from historical accounts like Flateyjarbók.
