With the help of spagettifelice, we poured through this blog post to add in missing translations.
This is the post with the name suggestions that Himaruya received from fans. I noticed there had been some changes to the list, so I made sure the translation reflected that.
Here's some research
Denmark
Anersen (アネルセン) - Similar to Anderson (アンデルセン), it does seem to be a family name, though I can't seem to find any solid information on it. The ending "sen" is common in Denmark.
Christiansen (クリスチャンセン) - Surname, literal "son of Christian".
Anasen (アナセン) - Again is a surname, but I can't find any solid information on it.
Simon (シモン) - Given name. Greek/Hebrew in origin, meaning "he has heard".
Abel (アベル) - Given name. Hebrew in origin, meaning "breath," this was also the name of a Danish king.
Mikkel (ミッケル) - Given name. Scandinavian form of "Michael".
Magnus (マグナス) - Given name. Latin name meaning "great" that became popular in Scandinavia.
Bertram (バートラム) - Seems to be used both as a given name and a surname. Germanic in origin, means "bright raven".
The surname "Dehsen", which had originally been attached to Simon, had been removed from the original list.
Norway
Lukas Bondevik (ルーカス・ボンネウィーク) - Lukas is a variant of Luke that is used in Scandinavia. although Himaruya notes Bondevik as a common surname in Norway, that may not be true.
Bjørn - Danish/Norwegian form of Björn, meaning "bear".
Kjetil (チェーティル) - Norwegian form of the Swedish name Kettil, meaning "kettle/cauldron". The pronunciation of ~kj is very similar to the english ~sh sound.
Knut (クヌート) - Meaning "knot".
Sigurd (シグル) - Derived from "victory" & "guardian".
The name Børre Tomstatt was removed from the list. While Børre is a given name, Tomstatt does not pull up any results, so it was surmised that Tomsdatter may be more accurate.
Iceland
Emil Styrsson (エミール・スティルソン) -
Sigurður (シグルズ) -
Hinrik (ヒンリック) -
Egill (エギル) -
Eiríkur (エイリーク) -
