==General information== ===Name=== The name ([[Old Norse]]: ''Fit'') was first recorded in 1321 (''a Fit''). The word ''fit'' means 'vigorous [[meadow]]'. ===Coat-of-arms=== The [[Coat of arms|coat-of-arms]] is from modern times. They were granted on 19 December 1986. The arms show a [[Peavey (tool)|logging hook]], which was used in the area to haul the logs cut in the surrounding [[forest]]s. The [[log driving|logs were transported]] over the streams and lakes to the [[sawmill]]s. The people used long poles with hooks to haul the logs. The colours of the arms are green and silver because the name is derived from an old word describing a field (green) near a lake (silver).<ref>{{cite web|author=Norske Kommunevåpen|date=1990|title=Nye kommunevåbener i Norden|url=http://www.ngw.nl/int/nor/f/fet.htm|access-date=2008-12-18}}</ref> {{See also-text|Coats-of-arms for [[Åsnes]], [[Jondal]], [[Marker, Norway|Marker]], and [[Nordre Land]]}} {| style="float: center;" class="wikitable" |+ '''Number of minorities (1st and 2nd generation) in Fet by country of origin in 2017'''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ssb.no/statistikkbanken/selectvarval/Define.asp?subjectcode=&ProductId=&MainTable=FolkInnvkatLand&nvl=&PLanguage=1&nyTmpVar=true&CMSSubjectArea=befolkning&KortNavnWeb=innvbef&StatVariant=&checked=true |title=Immigrants and Norwegian-born to immigrant parents, by immigration category, country background and percentages of the population |language=en |publisher=ssb.no |access-date=25 June 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702101705/https://www.ssb.no/statistikkbanken/selectvarval/Define.asp?subjectcode=&ProductId=&MainTable=FolkInnvkatLand&nvl=&PLanguage=1&nyTmpVar=true&CMSSubjectArea=befolkning&KortNavnWeb=innvbef&StatVariant=&checked=true |archive-date=2 July 2015 }}</ref> |- ! style="background:#efefef;"|Ancestry ! style="background:#efefef;"|Number |- | {{flag|Poland}}||455 |- | {{flag|Lithuania}}||167 |- | {{flag|Sweden}}||105 |- | {{flag|Germany}}||79 |- | {{flag|Sri Lanka}}||73 |- | {{flag|Pakistan}}||72 |- | {{flag|Denmark}}||67 |- | {{flag|Vietnam}}||67 |}
