Name

[edit]

The last part of the name (øra) is the articulated form of ør 'sandbank (at the mouth of a river)'. The first element is the name of the old farm Kyrksæter (Old Norse: Kirkjusoðin). The first element of this name is the genitive of kirkja 'church' (referring to the fact that the first church was built there). The last part is the old name Soðin or Soðvin, which is a compound of the river name Søo and vin 'meadow' or 'pasture'. The name of the river is derived from the verb sjóða 'seethe' or 'boil' (referring to the froth of the waterfalls in the river). The name was spelled Kirksæterøra before the early 20th century.[5]
