Extracted from the Wikipedia article Storen (mountain).
Name
The official name of the mountain is Storen, but Store Skagastølstinden is also approved for use as an alternate name. The older spelling Store Skagastølstind is no longer prioritized for use. The first element of the older name is the genitive of the name of the mountain farm Skagastølen and the last element is tind which means "mountain peak". The mountain farm (dairy farm) Skagastølen belongs to the farm Skagen in Luster Municipality and stølen is the finite form of støl which means "mountain farm". Skagen is the finite form of skage which means "headland" or "promontory" and the name is equivalent with the famous Skagen in Denmark. The word store or storen means "The Big".
