Editing Hurdal (section)

==General information==
===Name===
The name ([[Old Norse]]: ''Urðardalr'' and ''Hurðardalr'') is an old district name. (The name of the church site is ''Gjøing''.) The first element is the [[genitive case]] of an old river name (later called ''Gjøingelva'' which means "Gjøing river"), probably ''Urð'' which means "stony river" (from ''urð'' which means "[[scree]]").  (The sideform ''Hurðardalr'' has an addition of a false /[[h]]/.)  The last element is ''dalr'' meaning "[[valley]]" or "dale".  Prior to 1918, the name was spelled ''"Hurdalen"''.

===Coat-of-arms===
The [[Coat of arms|coat-of-arms]] is from modern times.  They were granted in 1988.   The arms are green with a yellow-colored [[Conifer cone|cone]] from a [[Norway Spruce]] tree (''Picea abies'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://oddso.nvg.org/nlv/0239.html|title=Kommunevåpen|publisher=Hurdal kommune|access-date=2008-12-20|language=no}}</ref>
