History of Oslo's name

==Toponymy==
Erroneously, it was once assumed that Oslo meant "the mouth of the Lo river", referring to a lost name of the river Alna. This apocryphal story is not only ungrammatical (the correct form would be Loaros, cf. Nidaros), but the name Lo is not recorded anywhere before Peder Claussøn Friis first used it in the same work in which he proposed this etymology. The name Lo is now believed to be a back-formation arrived at by Friis in support of his spurious etymology for Oslo.〔(Alna – elv i Oslo ), Store Norske Leksikon (in Norwegian)〕
During the Middle Ages the name was initially spelt "Ánslo" and later "Óslo" or "Opslo".〔Aftenposten, 12 October 2014, p. 15.〕〔(Han har kartlagt Christianias karthistorie ), ''Osloby'', 8 December 2014.〕 The earlier spelling suggests that the first component ''ás'' might refer to the Ekeberg ridge southeast of the town. The word ''ás'' (in modern Norwegian ''ås'') with the meaning 'ridge' is a common component in Norwegian place names (se for instance Ås and Åsnes). In that case, it would read "the meadow beneath the ridge".
Another interpretation could be "the meadow of the gods" (the word ''ás'' then refers to the Aesir). However, the word ''ás'' with the meaning 'god' is rare in place names..
A further interpretation would be that "Ans" or "Ops" refer to the god Odin, like "Od" in Odense and "ons" in onsdag=Odin's day, Wednesday. "Lo" means house. Oslo thus could be interpreted as "Odin's house".
