Etymology and Meaning
The etymology of Norway is uncertain, but there are two primary theories:
The most commonly accepted meaning is that Norway refers to the "northern route" or "northern way," reflecting the coastal route that was essential for communication and transportation in the Viking Age and beyond.
Origin
The name Norway originated in the early Middle Ages. The first known written reference to Norway is found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 891 AD, which refers to the country as "Norðweg."
By the end of the 9th century, the name "Norge" was being used in Old Norse, and it gradually became the standard name for the country. The name was officially adopted as the constitutional name of the country in the 1814 Constitution of Norway.
