>Unna mainly means "away from; clear of; out from under" all of which can >apply to horses especially the last one! "Unn" is sometimes used as a >feminine name. what a strange name... I always pronounced it "Oona", but maybe it should have been "Unna" like in "dun"? When I bought her, I didn't like the name "Unna" and I decided to call her "Winnie". And then my aunt, through Irish friends, discovered that "Unna" was a name they use in Ireland and that it was translated to "Winnie" in English. Strange! But "Winnie" didn't sound like her, so after some days of "Winnie-ing" I decided it was Unna and the name was perfect for her. But I wasn't sure it was a Norwegian name, so thank you very much for the information! >A native Norwegian could help more. I should ask my father. He is from >Bergen. is Ofjord a common Norwegian name? It must be wonderful to be called so! Did you grow up in Bergen? It must be very beautiful! Saskia
