Ringsaker is a municipality in Hedmark county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Hedmarken. The administrative centre of the municipality is the city of Brumunddal. The municipality of Ringsaker was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). The municipalities of Furnes and Nes were merged together with Ringsaker on 1 January 1964.
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Ringsaker farm (Old Norse: Ringisakr), since the first church was built here. The first element is the genitive case of ringir or ringi. The last element is akr which means “field” or “acre”. The meaning of the first element is unknown. A proposal is that Ringir (Hringir) may have been another name for the Norse god Ullr (the lord of the ring), but this is very uncertain. (The background for this theory is the Norse poem Atlakviða. Here is mentioned a ceremony where people are swearing an oath by hringi Ullar or “Ullr’s ring”.)
