Norway means "way to the north" which actually makes sence since Norway is very far north. And about a thousand years ago Norway was called "Norðrvegr" which actually means "way to the north". "Norðrvegr" over time changed to "Norge" or "Noreg" because of the natural change in the language. So basically Norway got it´s name because it means "way to the north"
