St. Jetmund Church

The parish of Vanelven was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The spelling was later changed to Vanylven. On 1 February 1918, the area around the Syvdsfjorden (population: 1,260) was separated to become the new Syvde Municipality. This left Vanylven Municipality with 1,848 residents.[3]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Syvde Municipality (population: 1,458) and the Rovdestranda area (population: 436) of Rovde Municipality were both merged into Vanylven Municipality, giving Vanylven a new population of 3,897.[3]

On 1 January 2002, the mainland Åram area north of Fiskåbygd (population: 380) was transferred from Sande Municipality to Vanylven Municipality.[3][4]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Vanylvsfjorden (Template:Langx). The meaning of the first element is uncertain, but it may come from the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "fishing line" or Script error: No such module "Lang". which mean "dark" or "colorless", referring to the occurrence of olivine in the area. The last element is Script error: No such module "Lang". which is frequently used in the Sunnmøre area in the names of fjords. It possibly comes from the word Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "low, wet terrain".[5] Historically, the name was written Vanelven. In 1889, the spelling was changed to Vannelven. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Vanylven.[6] Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 11 December 1987. The official blazon is "Vert, a pile embowed argent" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a pile embowed (a triangle with curved sides). The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The arms are meant to show how the Vanylvsfjorden meets the sea, surrounded by the fertile green lands of Vanylven. The fertile lands and the sea which is full of herring are both important industries to the municipality which is why the colors green (land) and silver (sea) were chosen for the arms. The arms were designed by Jostein O. Mo. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[7][8][9][10]
