The essence of the address

A noble stone in Icelandic

The name joins Old Norse elements meaning that which is chief and noble, and stone, so that the whole reads as the endurance of a lineage. Iceland kept the traditional naming structure built on the father's name instead of an inherited surname, so the given name serves there as the basic identifier. The same root gave English the name borne by the first ruler of a united England.

Why this name?

  • Ten letters make an address with a strong, foreign sound that is easy to remember precisely because of that distinctness.
  • Writing it without its diacritic is standard in addresses and does not affect recognition among native users.
  • The .com extension is common in Iceland for work aimed beyond the island.
  • In a country with a patronymic tradition, an address built on a given name carries particular weight.

What does the name refer to?

The name refers to an Icelandic man's name built from Old Norse elements meaning what is chief and noble, and stone, read as the endurance of a family line.

Questions and answers

How do you build recognition where the surname changes every generation?

In the patronymic tradition the second element of the surname is formed from the father's name, so it does not pass to the children and joins no family in any register – the whole weight of identification falls on the given name. An address built on that name is therefore something the naming system itself does not provide: a fixed point that stays. It solves a problem people in other countries do not have.

Should a family archive be open, or kept to relatives?

An open archive lets relatives scattered across the world find one another and is sometimes the only way to restore broken ties. A closed one protects the privacy of the living and lets you put in things you would rather not show strangers, but only the people you give the address to will find it. A common solution is an open part with the tree and the history and a closed one for the rest.

How do you keep family material so that it outlives a generation?

Photographs on a drive are unreadable after twenty years, or lost along with the hardware, and the formats of favorite applications stop existing. Material kept at your own address, in common formats, comes through every change of technology. It is also worth noting who is in the picture and when – without that, an archive becomes useless by the next generation.

Whom does the adalsteinn.com address serve?

A person bearing this name, a creator or entrepreneur from Iceland working internationally and a family keeping a chronicle. In a country with a patronymic tradition an address built on a given name carries particular weight. Someone bearing the English variant of the same root will be better served by an address in his own spelling.

Will anyone else be using adalsteinn.com during my agreement?

No. For the whole term of the agreement the address is assigned to you alone and nobody else may use it. The assignment covers this one spelling of the name – the English variant of the same root is a separate item in the portfolio. Keeping and renewing the domain, the redirect and the mail records are included in the rent.

What exactly does the rent for adalsteinn.com cover?

The exclusive right to use the address for the term of the agreement, its upkeep and renewal with the registrar, a redirect to the link you choose — a profile or your website — and your mail provider's records. It does not cover website hosting, mailboxes or building a site. The price shown next to the address is the amount including VAT that we charge each month.

Can you take adalsteinn.com away from me during the agreement?

No. We do not terminate your agreement as long as you pay and the address is not used for abuse — the reasons are set out in the terms. So you can build your brand under this address with peace of mind. The one exception without any fault of yours is withdrawing the whole service from the offer — we would tell you 90 days in advance, and you could buy the address.
