Name

The name Nururfiskaravik (sometimes written Nururfiskarvik) is made of three parts, nurur-, fiskara-, and -vik. The first part, nurur-, comes from the Nurur tribe which traditionally counts the coastline there as its territory. Fiskara- means "fishermen's", and -vik means "inlet". As such, the name can be translated as the "Nurur Fishermen's Bay/Inlet". Usually, the last -a of fiskara is silent, and also commonly, Nurur- is ommitted. As such, the most common name of the town is Fiskarvik (Fishermen's inlet/bay).
