Speaking about the name Þjóðríkr, I suppose that is the same as
Theodor(ik). This must be a Hellinized or Romanized Germanic name
originally, isn't it?
I know the Russian form is Fjodor, with f < th, from Greek of course.

In Dutch (and other Lowlands languages) this happened in an older stadium
as well:

vlieden/to flee had thl- in Gothic, and vleien/to flatter, too
