Where this word comes from

Inherited from Old Norse Ullingsvangr, originally the name of the local rectory. The first element represents the genitive of Ullinn, a side form of Ullr (“Ull”) preserved primarily in place names; the second is vangr (“field, meadow; open grassy place”). The same divine-name element occurs in Ullensaker. The municipality was established under the name Kinsarvik in 1837 and was renamed Ullensvang in 1870.
