Hellas

Directly borrowed from Greek Ελλάς (Ellás, “Greece”), possibly being influenced by Ancient Greek Ἑλλάς (Hellás, “Greece”), in 1932 to replace the Danish loanword and German cognate Grekenland as part of a trend to adopt endonyms as Norway was nation-building during the early 20th century and as a compromise during the early stages of the Norwegian language conflict, with Nynorsk and Samnorsk advocates rejecting the existing name and Grekerland, a calque of Swedish Grekland, only working in Bokmål (where Greek is greker, being grekar instead in Nynorsk). In the 1970s, the Norwegian Foreign Ministry attempted to reverse the name change to be more similar to other European countries. Although this movement gained enough momentum to make it to the Language Council of Norway, it was rejected by a majority of the Council.

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.

* 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.
