Etymology
From non hallr stone Þórr.
Also written as non Hallþórr
The philologist Eivind Vågslid claims the name comes from non hǫll hall, house, and non þórr thunder that later got the meaning of "fishing place". This is explained by the thundering noise from water falls and how good fishing spots often are located below these. He therefore interpreted the name as fishing-capable man in the hall or house.Eivind Vågslid Norderlendske fyrenamn 1988 82-991668-0-2
