Rygge is a municipality in Østfold county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Rygge. Rygge was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt).
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Rygge farm, since the first church was built there. The Old Norse form of the name is not known (the oldest manuscripts from 1353-1528 use the form “Ryg(g)jof”). A possible (but uncertain) reconstruction is Rýgjuhof. The first element would then be the genitive case of rýgja, a sideform of rýgr which means “lady”. (Like ylgja to ylgr, both forms with the meaning ‘she-wolf’.) The last element is probably Hof meaning “temple”. If this is correct, then the word rýgja most probably is referring to the goddess Freyja, since the meaning of the word freyja also is ‘lady’.
