on Wikipedia: "The name Mandal which comes from the Old Norse name Marnardalr. The first element is the genitive case of the river name Mǫrn (now Mandalselva) and the last element is dalr which means "valley" or "dale". Prior to 1653, the town was named Vesterrisør (meaning "western Risør")."
@@VorgewandertNorway is one of my favorite countries, I’ve been there six times. Thanks for posting, I haven’t been here, but I have been to nearby Kristiansand
@@Vorgewandert Not quite correct. The Norse word/name "mǫrn" means sea, ocean or water. Then "Man" is derived after that. Then comes "dal" which means valley. Love from a mandalitt, resident from Mandal.😀
