Getterön
Getterön is a peninsula in Varberg Municipality, Halland County, Sweden, immediately northwest of the municipal seat Varberg.
Getterön was an island until 1936, when the sound between Getterön and the mainland was filled out and a road was built.
== Etymology ==
The name Getterön is very old. It is derived from the Viking Age or even earlier. The spelling has varied, for example ''Gederöen'' or ''Gäderöen'' in 1645, ''Geterholmen'' in 1691, ''Getter ön'' in 1733, ''Geterön'' 1734 and ''Gietterön'' in 1752.〔Gustafsson 1988, p 13.〕 The current spelling ''Getterön'' was not widely recognized until the 1900s, but appears in documents as early as in the 18th century and used in the public land registry in 1825.〔Gustafsson 1988, p 12-13.〕
The name's meaning is unclear. Probably there is an etymological link with the nearby ''Getakärr'', a medieval city that was a predecessor of Varberg. Possibly there is a link to the noun ''goat''. In Norwegian, the word ''Geite'', which means "goat", is sometimes used in names of rivers and skerries.〔Gustafsson 1988, p 13.〕 The coat of arms of Varberg Municipality, whose design is taken from a seal from 1536,〔Petersen 2008, p 78.〕 includes a goat.
