sluttå

Sluttå is a Norwegian toponym that may refer to several small watercourses or rural settlements in Norway. The term is not tied to a single nationally prominent location, and specific references typically require disambiguation by municipality or region.

Etymology and linguistic notes:

The name combines slutt, meaning “end” or “tip,” with å, a hydronym meaning “stream” or “river.” The suffix å is common in Norwegian place names for rivers and streams and often points to a watercourse associated with a valley, hillside, or boundary. This formation is typical in rural toponyms across parts of Norway.

Usage and distribution:

Sluttå appears in various counties as a name for small streams or farms. Because many Norwegian watercourses and farms share this generic construction, the same name can refer to different places in different regions. Locating the exact Sluttå usually requires consulting local maps, cadastral records, or municipal gazetteers. Notable features, if any, depend on the specific Sluttå being referred to.
