Name
The village (and church parish) is named after the old Tretten farm (Template:Langx or Script error: No such module "Lang".) since the first church was built there. This farm is now named Prestgarden which means 'the vicarage'. The first element of the name is þróttr which means 'force' or 'power'. The last element is vin which means 'meadow'. The farm is lying close to the river Moksa, and the first element is probably referring to the stream and the waterfalls in the river here.
