== Etymology == The Norwegian name Tromsdalstinden means "the peak above Tromsdalen," while the Sami (or Sámi) name comprises Sálaš and Oaivi. The first word signifies a good hunting area; the second translates as "head," but when speaking of landscapes indicates a mountain that is rounded, i.e., does not have any jagged peaks.
