Hlif was the daughter of Hrolf, son of Ingjald, son of King Frodi, and the mother of Eyvind (Grettir's Saga, Ch. III). Her genealogy is recorded in the context of distinguishing the maternal lines of Thrand and Eyvind: "Eyvind's mother was named Hlif; she was the daughter of Hrolf, the son of Ingjald, the son of King Frodi, while Thrand's mother was Helga, the daughter of Ondott Crow" (Grettir's Saga, Ch. III).

Hlif's lineage connects to King Frodi through her father Hrolf and grandfather Ingjald (Grettir's Saga, Ch. III). She is linked to Ondott Crow and Helga through the parallel genealogical record of Thrand's maternal line (Grettir's Saga, Ch. III).
