"Gardermoen" is a compound of the farm name "Garder" and the finite form of "mo" m 'moor; drill ground' (thus 'the moor belonging to the farm Garder'). The farm is first mentioned in 1328 ("Garðar"), and the name is the plural of Norse "garðr" m 'fence'. The meaning is probably 'enclosure; fenced fields'.
