      Ifølge Saxo og den islandske Ragnars saga, loðbrókar, fik Regnar sit efternavn Lodbrog fra det gammeldanske ”loth”, som betyder loddent, og fra ”brōk”, der kan oversættes til bukser, og det var en del af hans påklædning, da han besejrede lindormen – dragen – som bevogtede den svenske kongedatter Thora.
      According to Saxo and the Islandic Ragnar's saga, loðbrókar, Regnar got his last name Lodbrog from Middle Danish ”loth”, which means furry, and from ”brōk”, which may be translated as trousers, and that was a part of his dress, as he defeated the wyrm - the dragon - who guarded the Swedish king's daughter Thora.
