==General information==
The municipality of Træna was established on 1 January 1872 when it was separated from [[Lurøy Municipality]]. Initially, Træna had 289 residents. The municipal borders have not changed since that time.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the ''[[Træna (archipelago)|Træna]]'' island group ({{langx|non|Þriðna}}). The meaning of the name is uncertain, but it may be derived from the word {{wikt-lang|non|þrír}} which means "three", probably referring to the three peaks on the island.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |author-link=Oluf Rygh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K21BAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Nordlands amt |date=1905 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=16 |location=Kristiania, Norge |page=161 |language=no}}</ref> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled ''Trænen''. On 6 January 1908, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Træna''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1908 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1908.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 24 July 1987. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Gules]], three fish-hooks [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] two over one"'' ({{langx|no|I rødt tre gull angler, 2-1}}). This means the arms have a red [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is three [[Fish hook|fishhook]]s made of [[bone]] from the [[Stone Age]]. The fishhooks have a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means they are commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. These hooks symbolize the importance of [[fishing]] in the municipality. They are based on the historic bone hooks found in the local cave Kirkhelleren on the island of [[Sanna, Nordland|Sanna]]. They are [[canting arms]] because there are three hooks and the name Træna originates from a word meaning number "three". The arms were designed by Jarle E. Henriksen.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Træna |access-date=2023-02-04 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Træna, Nordland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-18-35.html |access-date=2023-02-04 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1987-07-24 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1987-07-24-653 |access-date=2023-02-04 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> {{See also-text|the coats of arms of [[Coat of arms of Båtsfjord|Båtsfjord]], [[Coat of arms of Frøya|Frøya]], and [[Coat of arms of Øksnes|Øksnes]]}}

==Geography==
The municipality consists of 477 [[island]]s and [[skerry|skerries]] off the coast of mainland Norway.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Træna |url=https://snl.no/Tr%C3%A6na#:~:text=Tr%C3%A6na%20er%20et%20%C3%B8yrike%20som,rundt%20fire%20mil%20til%20fastlandet |website=snl.no}}</ref> Four of the islands are populated: [[Husøya]], [[Selvær]], [[Sanna, Nordland|Sanna]], and Sandøy. The islands lie along the [[Trænfjorden]] to the southeast and the [[Norwegian Sea]] to the west. [[Træna Lighthouse]] is located in the southern part of the municipality. The highest point in the municipality is the {{convert|336.74|m|adj=on}} tall mountain Trænstaven.<ref name="elev" />

===Farms of Træna===
Historically, the land of Træna was divided up into named farms. These farms were used in census and tax records and are useful for genealogical research.

====Farm names and numbers====
The farms in Træna Municipality are listed in O. Rygh's series [[Norske_Gaardnavne]] ("Norwegian farm names"), the Nordland volume of which was published in 1905.
:''See also:'' [https://books.google.com/books?id=4i5MAQAAIAAJ Digital version of Norske Gaardnavne - Nordland] {{in lang|no}}

The farm numbers are used in some census records, and numbers that are near each other indicate that those farms are geographically proximate. Handwritten Norwegian sources, particularly those prior to 1800, may use variants on these names. For recorded variants before 1723, see the digital version of O. Rygh.

Farm names were often used as part of [[Scandinavian_family_name_etymology#Norway|Norwegian names]], in addition to the person's given name and [[patronymic]] or inherited surname. Some families retained the farm name, or [https://www.kartverket.no/globalassets/til-lands/stadnamn/toponymic-guidelines-for-map-and-other-editors-norway.pdf toponymic], as a surname when they emigrated, so in those cases tracing a surname may tell you specifically where in Norway the family was from. This tradition began to change in the mid to late 19th century, and inherited surnames were codified into law in 1923.

If you can't find an entry when you are searching for a word that starts with AE, Ae, O, A or Aa, it may have been transcribed from one of the letters not used in English. Try looking for it under the Norwegian letter; Æ, Ø, and Å appear at the end of the [[Danish_and_Norwegian_alphabet|Norwegian alphabet]]
