Page "Ullern" Paragraph 1
from
Wikipedia
The borough has its name from an old farm, Norse Ullarin.
The first element is the genitive case of the name of the Norse god Ullr.
The last element is vin, meaning pasture or meadow.
In Medieval times, the farm belonged to the monastery at Hovedøya.
Following the Reformation in 1536, the farmland was separated between the crown and the local canon.
Formally divided into lower and upper Ullern in 1740, both farms were bought by Herman Severin Løvenskiold, in 1878 and 1866 respectively.
