Hrafn Haengsson

Hrafn Haengsson was a tenth-century Icelandic jurist and goði. He was the son of Ketil Haeng, one of the early settlers of Iceland, and his wife Ingunn.

This is an Icelandic name. The last name is patronymic, not a family name; this person is referred to by the given name Hrafn.

Hrafn was one of the main parties responsible for the unification of Iceland under the Althing and was then appointed lawspeaker at the first Althing in 930 CE. He served in that capacity until 949.
