I suspect, but don't know for sure, the name can be traced back to the early 19th century when Iceland's national poet Jónas Hallgrímsson made up a couple hundred new words for various animals, natural phenomena, and scientific terms that Icelandic didn't have any word for. Before his time people just used to Danish term for anything too fancy or foreign to have its own native word.

Some of them were very good (see skjaldbaka) but they couldn't all be hits.

Jónas died at age 38 after he fell down some strairs coming home shitfaced from the pub in his apartment building in Copenhagen. He only broke a leg but it was late and he didn't want to bother the neighbours so he didn't call out for help and got a really nasty infection. A hundred years after his death his remains and/or the remains of some random Danish commoner (he was buried in a paupers grave with a bunch of other people) were shipped back home and he was given a state funeral.

In conclusion Jónas Hallgrímsson is a land of contrasts.

That was an unusually interesting post, thankyou.

(If you asked me to come up with a stereotypical Icelandic surname, it'd absolutely involve halls and grimness and end with "-sson.")

The person who named it was aware of sea lions and thought there should be an inland version as well. Co-workers tried to politely inform him by leaving books about lions on his desk, but he wouldn't take the hint. Also he was the boss's son.

I could do without sea lions.

Imagine ordering one in discrete packaging, and then it arrives in this van.
Now I'm imagining it having a jingle like an Ice-cream van, and then after it arrives the delivery man posts a message on all of your social medias saying that the dildo has arrived complete with a picture of the dildo and another of your front doorstep.

If you only order one, of course it will be in discrete packaging.
