Håvik is an old name (formerly written as Haavig) and comes from the high mountains "behind" the village, hå is an old Norwegian word for "high" and vik means "bay", therefore Håvik has high mountains by a bay.
In the mountains of Håvik, there is a cave with visible signs of early living. A handcrafted cup of stone was found and delivered to the Historic Museum in Bergen during the 1970s. In earlier days, the people in Håvik, made their living like many other villages along the Norwegian coast by a combination of fishing and farming. Today there are no more farming activities and the inhabitants have jobs in the larger communities nearby.
