[edit]Name
The municipality of Sør-Audnedal means "southern Audnedal", since it is the southern part of the old Audnedal municipality which encompassed the Audnedalen valley. The name Audnedal (Old Norse: Auðnudalr) is named after the Audna river (Old Norse: Auðna) which runs through the valley ("-dalr") and empties into the Snigsfjorden. The river name means "destruction".[1][2]
[edit]History
The municipality of Søndre Undal was established in 1845 when the old Undal municipality was divided into Nordre Undal and Søndre Undal. At that time, Søndre Undal had a population of 3,893. The name was later changed to Sør-Audnedal. On 1 January 1899, the western part of Sør-Audnedal, Spangereid, was separated to become a municipality of its own. The split left Sør-Audnedal with 2,958 inhabitants. On 1 January 1964, Sør-Audnedal was merged with Vigmostad andSpangereid to create the new municipality of Lindesnes. Prior to the merger, Sør-Audnedal had a population of 2,323.[3]
