So, it means "Son of" who then?
Do you remember where you found it?
I often have a hard time tracing my steps when I run into rare names.

Son of Þrándur/Þrándr/Þrondr etc. It's connected with the place name Trondheim, but the meaning is obscure. It could be a contraction of a speculative dithematic name *Þrá-windr, but that doesn't get us very far, as the meaning of Þrá- is also only speculated.
