Rhymes: -ʉn Etymology: Kristian + sund, named after Christian VI of Denmark, the King of Denmark and Norway from 1730 to 1746, who gave the town township rights in 1742. The original spelling of the city was Christianssund, used from 1742 to 1877, then the spelling Kristianssund was used until 1889, and the modern spelling Kristiansund has been used since. The town was referred to as Fosna or Fosen, before given township rights, from Old Norse fólgsn (“hiding place, hidden port”). It was also often named Lille Fosen ("the small Fosen") to distinguish it from the island Storfosna ("the big Fosen") in Ørland to the north.
