>I don't know who told you that ð was an Icelandic d.


No one told me, I just made it up from the appearance of the letter.


I do know though that  Sunnudagu (Sunday) is different from Barðar (a male first name)


>The ð is called the "eth", and was used in Anglo-Saxon interchangeably with thethorn to represent the 2 sounds that are now represented in English by <the digraph

<th.
>As such Icelandic has retained the eth sign.
>In Icelandic the /d/ sound is represented by the letter d.
