It's simply because it's not relevant. We all know the Nords are heavily based on those cultures, so why would someone put that his name is Icelandic in origin, when all other Nords happen to fall under a similar rule? Besides, what you did there was speculation; that Hjalti doesn't have much in common with our Hjalti.
