1, which originated from the initial impression of the discoverer. In the 4th century AD, the Greek geographer Pifey once called it "Kirishima". However, because the island is far from the mainland and the traffic is inconvenient, few people come. In 864 AD, the Scandinavian navigator flock set foot on the island, and the island was really "discovered". Post-Scandinavians, Irish and Scots flocked. When these immigrant ships approached the southern coast, the first thing they saw was a huge glacier, the famous Vatna Glacier in Iceland. People were so impressed with this glacier that they named the island "Iceland".
2. It originated from the strategy of the colonists. After the original colonists settled on the island, they didn't want others to share their "food in their mouths", so they named it "Iceland" to prevent people from coming.
Icelanders are friendly to foreigners and straightforward. Icelanders, including friends and strangers, usually greet each other by name, and sometimes they greet each other on welcome occasions. Icelanders' surnames are very different from those of most other western countries, and usually do not continue the traditional family surnames of the paternal line. A typical Icelandic surname usually means "son" by adding the suffix "son" to the name of the father (sometimes the mother), or "dottir" means "woman" and directly means "someone's son or daughter". Those Icelanders who use fixed surnames are mostly modern immigrants. Women don't change their surnames because they get married. When foreigners address Icelanders on formal occasions, they can generally use "first name+title (Mr./Ms.)" or "full name+title" instead of "last name+title", which needs attention. Only two people in Iceland need their full names: the President and the Archbishop. Iceland has few names, so there are many people who have the same names. When two or more people with the same name are together, they are usually distinguished by "first name+last name without suffix" or "first name+middle name".
Meeting Icelanders usually requires an appointment. Icelanders have a strong sense of time. In Iceland, it is more common than other countries to invite guests to their homes instead of going to restaurants. Except for formal occasions, the dress is generally casual. When holding formal activities, the dress should be indicated on the invitation. On formal occasions, the seating arrangement of guests conforms to international practice. The male guest sits on the right of the hostess, and the female guest sits on the right of the male host. When you are invited to Iceland for the first time, you usually bring a bunch of flowers or other small gifts, or send flowers the next day with a signature card to show your gratitude. Gifts are usually given at birthday parties, weddings and children's religious baptisms.
Icelandic law allows homosexuals to register as spouses.
Iceland's eating habits are similar to those in Europe, and the cooking in hotel restaurants is the same as that in Europe, with western food as the mainstay. Fish is the characteristic of Icelandic cuisine, with various varieties. There is no habit of tipping in Iceland, whether it is taxis, hotel rooms or catering services, except fishing guides.
The national system is so comprehensive that we can only buy a book about it and study it slowly.
