J贸n Gnarr (Icelandic pronunciation: 鈥媅藞jou藧n 藞knar藧]; born 2 January 1967) is an Icelandic actor, comedian, and politician who served as the Mayor of Reykjav铆k from 2010 to 2014. Born J贸n Gunnar Kristinsson, J贸n legally changed his middle name in 2005 to the way his mother pronounced it when he was a boy. He prefers to be addressed as J贸n Gnarr as he does not wish to carry his father's name. Under national law overseen by the Icelandic Naming Committee, he had not been allowed to legally drop "Kristinsson" from his name as seen on his passport until 2015. Gnarr was only recognized as a surname by the courts in 2018.
