User-submitted Reference
Fiveland (the name rhymes with Cleveland) is the name of a farm near Lygdal, Vest-Agder, Norway. The word, fivel, is the name of a plant with a flower that resembles a white cotton ball and this plant grows in abundance in the marshy land near the location of the farm. When it came time to chose a family surname, some of the family chose a patronymic name and some chose the name of the farm as their surname, choosing not to use a double l in the name, thus "Fiveland."
