Where this word comes from

Possibly from Old Norse Herjulfssetr, from the male given name Herjulfr + setr (“farmstead, dwelling”), literally “Herjulfr’s farmstead”. The proposed derivation is uncertain. The second element setr is from Proto-Germanic *setrą (“seat, dwelling”), from Proto-Indo-European *sed- (“to sit”). Compare other Norwegian farm names in -set.
