Editing Notodden (section)

===Name===
The municipality (originally the town) is named after a small  [[Cotter (farmer)|cotter]]'s farmstead ({{lang|no|husmannsplass}}) located on the old ''Tinne'' farm since this was the original site of the town (near the mouth of the river [[Tinnelva]] at the lake [[Heddalsvatnet]]). The first element is derived from the word {{wikt-lang|non|nót}} which means "to [[Seine fishing|fish using a seine]]". The last element is the definite singular form of {{wikt-lang|no|odde}} which means "[[headland]]". Thus it is a "headland for net fishing".<ref name="snl">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Notodden |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/Notodden |date=2023-08-15 |editor-last=Nilsen |editor-first=Jan Erik |language=no |editor2-last=Lundbo |editor2-first=Sten |editor3-last=Selland |editor3-first=Svein-Gunnar |accessdate=2023-08-27}}</ref>
