The earliest attestation of the name is on the Rök Stone where it occurs as part of a kenning for wolf: Þat sagum tvalfta, hvar hæstʀ se Gunnaʀ etu vettvangi a, kunungaʀ tvaiʀ tigiʀ svað a liggia. "I say this the twelfth, where the horse of Gunnr sees fodder on the battlefield, where twenty kings lie."
