==Etymology==
The name ''Sogn'' is very old, and it originally belonged to the fjord (now called the Sognefjorden). The name is derived from the verb ''súga'' which means "suck"—referring to the strong tidal streams at the mouth of the fjord. A parallel name for the district in Norse times was ''Sygnafylki''. The first element in this name is the genitive of ''sygnir'' which means "people from Sogn" and the last element is ''fylki'' which is an old form of "fylke" which translates as "county".
