Well this will be obvious to determine what my name is, even by metaphor.
First name: The name of a Biblical king. In Faroese parlance the same meaning as 'wise'. It was the same name as my grandfather on my father's side, who just happened to be a well-respected priest who declined, more than once, the role as Bishop of Faroe Islands. By my grandfathers own account, he wanted to "stay closer to the people" (translated from Faroese).
Middle name: "Valley of Daring", or "Valley of Bravery". It's pretty tongue-in-cheek from my cultural heritage, as the name originates from a remote area in a valley that's rather inaccessible by normal means. You basically have to hike over a mountain to get there.
Last name: I've tried to search the records of this, it's rather old, and can't find anything conclusive of this. It's one of those "Son of ..." names.
