Etymology

The county consists of the two former counties Troms (“Troms”) and Finnmark (“Finnmark”), connected with og (“and”), from Old Norse ok (“and”), from earlier auk (“and”), from Proto-Germanic *auk (“also, too, furthermore”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewg- (“to increase, enlarge”).

The name of Troms (“Troms”) comes from Old Norse Trums (“Tromsøya”), originally the name of an island, possibly from straumr (“stream, current, tide”), from Proto-Germanic *straumaz (“stream, current, river”), from Proto-Indo-European *srowmos, *strow-mo-s, from *srew- (“to flow, stream”), possibly from *ser- (“to flow”). Doublet of Tromsø.

The name of Finnmark (“Finnmark”) comes from Old Norse Finnmǫrk (“Finnmark”), first part from finn, finnar (“Sami person”). Last part mǫrk (“forest, woodland, borderland”), from Proto-Germanic *markō (“border, boundary, area”), from Proto-Indo-European *morǵ- (“edge, boundary, border”).
