Discussion of the name
Stenesnoc probably represents the Old Norse masculine name Steini (or perhaps an Old Danish form *Steni) derived from steinn ‘stone’ compounded with a byname snókr ‘snake’, as suggested by von Feilitzen (1937: 373-4; cf. Munby 1982: DB 23,36 Notes), although Fellows Jensen (1968: 257) has a sense ‘snout, saucy person’ for snókr.The only entries in the PASE corpus are for Stenesnoc 1, a catch-all for occurrences of this form in DB, and for Sten 1 (a similar DB catch-all) and Sten 2 (a late-ninth or early-tenth-century moneyer).
