==Etymology== Although colloquially called Youngstorget by the public, the square was officially named Nytorvet ("New Square") in 1852, which was its official name until 1951, when the city council voted to change the name to Youngstorget. It is named after politician and financier Jørgen Young (1784–1837) who owned most of the adjacent area. A former member of the Storting, by the time of his death, Young was the wealthiest man in the city.
