"Odd name" dude it's her first name.
@nautilus541 8 ай бұрын
another possible answer could be that there was a low representation of icelandic people/"björks" in music and just her first name would make enough of an impression on the rest of the world to be memorable. maybe also about a sense of familiarity/intimacy(first name vs. first name last name) or belief that her music and personality would stand out without her adopting a stage name. i wish whoever made the video asked why she might use her first name instead of just padding out the video

@@Lilswagjr surnames have never existed in Icelandic. Surnames didn't exist in Europe until the 11th century. It was never made mandatory in Iceland and most likely due to isolation it never became "a trend" even though the Danes that used to rule us would have preferred it. There where some that wanted it and there are still about 2% (or less) of the population that carry a "family name". Guess we are just too proud of our heritage that we prefer not to use surnames.

In Iceland they have laws to preserve their language. So children are required to be named from the official list of boys or girls names. So they can't have a son and name him Lance, he has to be Bjorn. Every year half the children are named whatever that year's popular name is. Half the girls will be Bjork, and half the boys will be Sven. Next year those names are likely to be less popular.
