Name.
The name is from the Norwegian word "nuv," meaning rounded hump or mountain, which is also the name of the rounded mountain "Nuven" at the mouth of the fjord. The Old Norse name "Hnúfafjǫrðr" comes from the word "hnúfa", which either means hump, but it's also a byname alternately meaning "snub" or snub-nosed. The word "'hnufa' also refers to a bondmaid whose nose has been cut off for theft thrice repeated.
