Melkorka :-

Irish = Mael- Curcaigh(*)

and

Melkorka = Celtic. Melkorka appears as the slave-concubine of Höskuldr Dala-Kollsson in Laxdæla saga (c. 1245) who is said to be an Irish princess. This name appears in Landnámabók for Melkorka, daughter of the Irish king Mýrkjartan

The Saga of the People of Laxardal mentions a haughty slave-girl with no appreciation of her duties, brought to Iceland already pregnant with the child of her Viking captor. She is eventually revealed as Melkorka (Mael-Curchaich?)(*), the daughter of the Irish king Myrkjartan (Muircertach?), kidnapped at fifteen years of age. Faced with feuding women and clearly unable to control his Irish mistress, her owner eventually installed her in a homestead of her own across the river, recorded as the now-deserted site of Melkorkustadir

(*possible pronunciations).
