blivende (participle present)

Short form of blive, from Danish blive, from Middle Low German bliven. Meanings 2, 3 and 4 are taken from Old Norse verða, which also has given rise to the dated vorde. In several dialects, the Low German word did not displace the Old Norse word completely. As a result, vart was allowed in past tense besides ble(i) between 1938 and 2005.

Hva sier du til å bli hjemme i stedet for å gå på den dumme festen?

How about staying home instead of going to that stupid party?

Du blir her!

To personer ble arrestert for tyveri i går.

Two people were arrested for theft yesterday.

Hun ble grepet av angst.

(as an auxiliary verb to create passive voice with the main verb in past participle) to be

Det blir jo bare verre!

Øhm, er det bare meg, eller begynner du å bli skallet?

Erm, is it just me, or are you going bald?

(change, development over time) to become, get, go.

change; development over time; change; development over time

Når jeg blir stor skal jeg bli lege.

When I grow up, I'm going to be a doctor.

Festen ble en suksess!

The party turned out to be/was a success!

to be, become, will, going to, turn out,

Stavanger

From Old Norse Stafangr, a compound of stafr + angr. Akin to Stavang. The meanings of the composite words are straightforward, but what exactly they refer to is unclear.
* angr (“bay, fjord”), in reference to a body of water. This could be Breiavatnet, Byfjorden, Hillevågsvatnet, Vågen , or Østervåg. Norwegian etymologist Inge Særheim sees Vågen, the inlet atop the mouth of which stands the Stavanger Cathedral, as the most likely candidate.
* stafr (“staff”), from Proto-Germanic *stabaz, relating to the straight and unbending shape of a landform. This could refer to the out-jutting headland on the east lip of Vågen, a steep drop down into (the shore of) a body of water, or simply the unbending shape of the body of water in question. Byfjorden, Hillevågsvatnet, and Vågen all have straightish shapes.
