How were foreign names written in runes?
Upvote:2
This is one of the medieval rune inscriptions from Bryggen in Bergen, Norway. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryggen_inscriptions. It is in Latin and reads "rexiudeorum innomini patrisnazarenus" - "Rex Judæorum In nomine Patris Nazarenus" - "King of the Jews in the name of the Father of Nazareth".
There are also plenty of foreign names in inscription B013, same wikipedia page.
The answer to the OP's question would seem to be "straight transliteration". "Mark" is easily expressed in all of older, younger or medieval runes.
