Proper name [Norwegian Bokmål]

IPA: /²foːr.nəˌbʉː/, [ˈfôː.ɳəˌbʉ̌ː] Forms: Fornebo [alternative]
Rhymes: -ʉː Etymology: From the name of the farm Fornebo, recorded as Forneboo in 1557. The name is of Old Norse origin, but its precise formation is uncertain: the first element may be the personal name Forni or forn (“old”), and the second may be bú (“dwelling, farm”) or búð (“booth, hut”). Rygh favours the interpretation involving búð and suggests that the name may refer to huts used for salt boiling.
