Etymology
Probably borrowed from either Norwegian Nynorsk geirfugl or Faroese geirfuglur. From geirr (“spear”, referring to the beak) + fugl (“bird”). If inherited, it would have been gerfugl. Cognate with Swedish garfågel and English garefowl. See: Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns '
geirfugl', Faroese Nouns '
geirfuglur', English Nouns '
garefowl'.
