General information

The municipality of Træna was established on 1 January 1872 when it was separated from Lurøy Municipality. Initially, Træna had 289 residents. The municipal borders have not changed since that time.[4]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Træna island group (Template:Langx). The meaning of the name is uncertain, but it may be derived from the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "three", probably referring to the three peaks on the island.[5] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Trænen. On 6 January 1908, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Træna.[6]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 24 July 1987. The official blazon is "Gules, three fish-hooks Or two over one" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is three fishhooks made of bone from the Stone Age. The fishhooks have a tincture of argent which means they are commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. These hooks symbolize the importance of fishing in the municipality. They are based on the historic bone hooks found in the local cave Kirkhelleren on the island of Sanna. They are canting arms because there are three hooks and the name Træna originates from a word meaning number "three". The arms were designed by Jarle E. Henriksen.[7][8][9] Script error: No such module "Hatnote".

Farms of Træna

Template:OSM Location map Historically, the land of Træna was divided up into named farms. These farms were used in census and tax records and are useful for genealogical research.

Farm names and numbers

The farms in Træna Municipality are listed in O. Rygh's series Norske_Gaardnavne ("Norwegian farm names"), the Nordland volume of which was published in 1905.

See also: Digital version of Norske Gaardnavne - Nordland Template:In lang

The farm numbers are used in some census records, and numbers that are near each other indicate that those farms are geographically proximate. Handwritten Norwegian sources, particularly those prior to 1800, may use variants on these names. For recorded variants before 1723, see the digital version of O. Rygh.

Farm names were often used as part of Norwegian names, in addition to the person's given name and patronymic or inherited surname. Some families retained the farm name, or toponymic, as a surname when they emigrated, so in those cases tracing a surname may tell you specifically where in Norway the family was from. This tradition began to change in the mid to late 19th century, and inherited surnames were codified into law in 1923.

If you can't find an entry when you are searching for a word that starts with AE, Ae, O, A or Aa, it may have been transcribed from one of the letters not used in English. Try looking for it under the Norwegian letter; Æ, Ø, and Å appear at the end of the Norwegian alphabet
