The word "Dorsteinn" is an Icelandic name that follows the language's unique spelling system, which is based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). In Icelandic, "D" is pronounced like "th" in "the", so the first syllable is pronounced "Thors". "Ei" is pronounced "ay", and "nn" is pronounced like a double "n". Therefore, "Dorsteinn" is pronounced as "Thors-tay-nn". This system may be confusing for non-Icelandic speakers, but it adds to the distinctiveness of the language and culture.
