The name is very old and disputed. -''Ved'' is cognate to English ''Wood'' and the first part of its name, ''Ti''-, either means "god" or refers to the god [[Týr]], both descendants of the word meaning “god”. Tiveden separates [[Närke]] from [[Västergötland]], and was formerly a frontier between the [[Geats]] and the [[Suiones|Swedes]].

The national park area has never been inhabited, but there are several ancient remains of human activities such as worshipping grounds and sacrificial sites.
