Etymology
From bergugle + berg. The alternative forms are from bergule (old form of bergugle).
The component -ugl- is common in Trøndelag toponyms (see e.g. Kattugla). In one of the cases it is derived from earlier -augl- with unknown meaning, attested since Old Norse period, but it is rather an exeption from the rule, while mountain names connected to birds are common in Norway (compare e.g. Falkenuten).
(mountain top in Løkken): Mentioned on a map of the mine from 1756 in Danish, written as Berg-Ugel-Berget.
