Slodi

Old Norse Slóði (m.)

Slóði was originally a byname meaning ‘lazy one’. It is extremely rare in West Scandinavia, recorded only once as a personal name and once as a byname and potentially found in a place-name. It is recorded a few times in runic inscriptions in Sweden.

Slóði may be the first element in the place-name Sloothby, Lincolnshire; however, there are several other possibilities for this element.
