Where this word comes from
Learned borrowing from Old Norse Rogaland, from the genitive plural of rygir (“the people living in Rogaland”) + land (“land, region”). The first element roga- is an older form than rygja-, as in Ryfylke. The county was formerly called Stavanger amt, but the name Rogaland was taken into use as the county name in 1919.
