Ásbjǫrn Skerjablesi
Ásbjǫrn skerjablesi (died 874), also known as Ásbjǫrn jarl skerjablesi, is a ruler of the Kingdom of the Isles, Hebrides attested by ''Landnámabók'' and ''Droplaugarsona saga''. His epithet, ''skerjablesi'', translates to "skerry blaze". One possibility is that this name means "the man with a blaze from the Skerries", although the particular skerry which this might refer to is unknown.
