The name "Pingeyrar" translates to "Parliament point" or "Assembly point," suggesting a potential historical significance related to gatherings or assemblies in the past.

Historically, Pingeyrar was the site of a prominent farm and played a role in the local community. Evidence suggests it was a place of some importance, though detailed records are scarce.
