Rennesøy is a municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is part of the region of Ryfylke. The administrative center is the village of Vikevåg.

The parish of Rennesø was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Mosterøy was separated from Rennesøy on 1 July 1884. It was, however, merged back with Rennesøy on 1 January 1965 (but without Kvitsøy).

General information

Name

The Old Norse form of the name was Rennisøy. The meaning of the first element is unknown and the last element is øy which means "island". Before 1918, the name was written "Rennesø".

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 20 February 1981. The arms show two crosiers. In the present municipality one of Norway's oldest and best preserved monasteries, Utstein, is situated. Hence the choice for the crosier.[6]
