If Amlaíb's name indeed represents a Gaelicised Scandinavian name, it could indicate that his mother was a member of the Uí Ímair, and possibly a granddaughter of Amlaíb Cúarán or Amlaíb mac Gofraid.
Se o nome de Amlaíb é unha forma gaélica dun nome escandinavo, podería sinalar que a súa nai era membro da Uí Ímair, e posiblemente neta de Amlaíb Cuarán ou Amlaíb mac Gofraid.
