Gutasaga

[2] The saga begins with Gotland being discovered by a man named Þieluar (Swedish: Tjälvar, Gutnish: Tjelvar).

Here the saga cites an old alliterative verse, probably deriving from oral tradition: Alt ir baugum bundit boland al þitta warþa oc faum þria syni aiga.

It asserts that it was based on mutual agreements, and notes the duties and obligations of the Swedish king and bishop in relationship to Gotland.

[6] The man who arranged the mutually beneficial agreement with the king of Sweden is named as Awair Strabain.

Tjelvar and several other names of people from the Gutasaga are used for places, establishments and other Gotland related things like websites.

[7][8] In 2011, a competition, hosted by the Swedish Astronomical Society, for naming a newly discovered Apollo asteroid was held in Visby.
