Name
editThe first element is diger which means "huge" or "enormous". The last part of the name is -ronden which is the finite plural of the word rond. Several mountains in the area have the ending -ronden (Digerronden, Høgronden, Midtronden, Storronden and Vinjeronden), and this is the finite singular of the same word. The word rond was probably originally the name of the long and narrow lake such as Rondvatnet and the mountains surrounding the lake were then named after this lake.
