==Etymology== | |||
''Ormå'' comes from Ancient Ormå ''ormorri'', a term referring to a tundra that is naturally protected from harsher winds by some other geographical feature, typically hills. ''ormorri'' may come from Proto-Ulmic ''*olmuy'', "silence", which would make Pêrsir ''ulmii'', "volume", cognate with ''ormorri''. | |||
