Store Memurutinden


Store Memurutinden is the eighth-highest mountain in Norway, and lies in the municipality Lom, Innlandet.

The name

The first element is the name of the river Memuru, the last element is the finite form of tind m 'mountain peak'. The rivername is derived from the verb mara 'dig' - the first element Me- is from Old Norse mið 'in the middle', because the mouth of the river is almost exactly at the middle of the lake Gjendin.
The word store means 'the big'.
