The Codex Regius in 1643 came into the possession of Brynjólfur Sveinsson, then Bishop of Skálholt. Bishop Brynjólfur sent Codex Regius as a present to the Danish king, hence the name. For centuries it was stored in the Royal Library in Copenhagen but in 1971 it was returned to Iceland.
English translators are not consistent on the translations of the names of the Eddic poems or on how the Old Norse forms should be rendered in English. Up to three translations are given below, taken from the translations of Bellows, Hollander, and Larrington with proper names in the normalized English forms found in John Lindow's Norse Mythology and in Andy Orchard's Cassell's Dictionary of Norse Myth and Legend.

How was JRR Tolkein influenced by Norse mythology?
In JRR Tolkien's Lord Of the Rings there many references to Norse mythology. First of all many of the species in Lord Of The Rings are Norse in origin. Dwarves, Elves, Trolls, all of which are from Norse Mythology. Some places in Lord of the rings are named after places in Norse mythology. For example Mirkwood is mentioned in a poem in the Poetic Edda. It is spelled Myrkwood in the Poetic Edda. It is among the Heroic poems. I could tell you the exact poem and stanza, but I could not find find my copy of the Poetic Edda. My apologizes for lack of detail.
