"Kvenvold" is not a word you will find in a norwegian dictionary, seeing as it is indeed not a word.

It could however be used as a surname, or the name of a location.

It appears to be a combination of two words, "kven" and "vold"

"Vold" when used in names, usually refers to an old way of saying "voll", which in terms translates to "mound" or "dike"

"Kven" is most likely in itself yet another name, as there are several places within Norway with this name. As for the ethymology of this... I really don't know :S

Note: If you insisted on translating this as a word, it would either be "Whoviolence" or something like "Whomound". This makes just as little sense in norwegian as it does in english, I assure you...
