The usual Old Norse form of Norway is Noregr, and the usual mediaeval Latin form Nor(th)vegia, though the earliest known written occurrence of the name is English (in the late-ninth-century account of the travels of Ohthere of Hålogaland), in the form norðweg. Although some mediaeval texts attribute the name to a mythical King Nórr, it is conventionally derived today from Old Norse *norðvegr, meaning "the northern route" (the way northwards). Norse also had the terms austrvegr "the lands in the east" (Russia and Asia), vestrvegr "the lands in the west" (the British Isles) and suðrvegr "the lands in the south" (the Mediterranean). There is, however, some possibility that mediaeval forms in norð-, north- are folk-etymologizations and that the name has other origins.
