[edit] The etymology of Norway

The origin of this toponym is usually given as "The northern route/passage" or "The way [to the] north". //Big Adamsky 19:33, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

To me this seems like lingofactionalism, trying to make the Nynorsk Noreg (closer to Norveg, 'North Way') 'less accurate' than Bokmål Norge (apparently 'Nórs rige'). It looks blatant even to me, and I'm pro-bokmål. --Joffeloff 19:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

How can it be linguofactionalism. "Norge" and "Noreg" have just as much in common with "Noregr", if you know the way the languages have changed; if anything, the 'nynorsk' variant is more similar. Or what?--Alexlykke (talk) 00:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
