The name

The first element is the name of the gorge Storjuvet, the last element is the finite form of tind m 'mountain peak'. The name of the gorge is a compound of stor 'big' and juv n 'gorge, canyon'. The gorge is also the source of the name of the glacier Storjuvbrean in the bottom of the gorge.
