Name
editThe first part of the name comes from the words rond which was probably the original name of the nearby lake Rondvatnet and the second part is vass which means 'water', probably referring to the lake. Many of the mountains near the lake were then named after this lake. The Old Norse form of the name was rǫnd which means 'stripe' or 'edge' (referring to the long and narrow form of the lake). The last element is høg which means 'high' or 'tall'.
