I’m Norwegian, and it doesn’t immediately ring a bell.
The text in the image appears to read “Noru” followed by unclear letters that could resemble “u,” “m,” or “n.” This script could relate to an old or obscure Norwegian place name or regional name, potentially one no longer in modern use.
Possible interpretations could include:
1. **Norud** – A historical place name, though rare, found in certain contexts in Norway. 2. **Norum** – This exists as both a family name and place name, often associated with traditional Norwegian areas. 3. **Norum/Nordum** – Some dialects and older documents might show variations in spelling for places in eastern Norway or Trøndelag.
If further context is available (like nearby text or additional clues), it might help narrow down the place name more precisely.
I’m sorry that I can’t immediately pin it down, but I hope it is somewhat helpful. More context would be appreciated, both as clues, but also as a key to understanding how this person wrote certain letters.
Post more of the document so we can see other letters and maybe other significant info.
I see Norn, which is not a place but an extinct Nordic language. I assume that’s not right.
I also see Novo. I don’t see the letter d at all.
Post more of the document so we can see, though.
Norw. as in Norway?
I guess this says Norw. which would be an abbreviation for Norway and not the name of any village.
I’m seeing Norw. But it has to tell without seeing the rest of the sentence to compare letters.
Clearly this is Volvo car manufacturer!
Voss?
Norio, Svorio Nowo, Slowo, Slorio, Svorno.
Could this be some stylized or hastily-written way of writing Voss?
It’s the only thing that I can think of which makes any sense, and even then it’s a bit of a stretch
Nome?
Nornes is a village located in western Norway?
The first letter could very well be a V.
i’m thinking Voss, but it’s been a while since i’ve had the pleasure of decoding that kind of cursive handwriting
Might be a wierd Sverre?
Norun?
When I just look in passing I guessed “stord” – written by a doctor, but looking closer it looks like just “Norw” as in Norway. Which would be the old time way of writing where you are from on some form etc.
I vote for Stord!
I first thought it was Nora, as in the name, but this doesnt make sense if it’s a place the.
The first two letters is obviously “No”, and I think it is safe to assume the last part is either 2 or three letters.
Nord (north), Norw, Norro, Noud*, Nouo*, Nono*, Nona, Nond* is all possible in my eyes.
The starred* ones is unlikely though, as they do not sound norwegian at all in any dialect (I know of). Nor modern, nor old norwegian
