Where this word comes from
From ut (“out, offshore”) + the older island name Sira. The first element refers to the island's position far out at sea. The origin of Sira is uncertain; it has been connected with the same root as se (“to see”), because the island is visible far out at sea, with Old Norse sær (“sea”) and Norwegian sjø (“sea”), perhaps originally referring to the open sea between Utsira and Karmøy, or with sige (“to flow slowly”), referring to current conditions.
