Etymology
From nn bergugle berg. The alternative forms are from nn bergul.
The component -ugl- is common in Trøndelag toponyms (see e.g. nn Kattugla). In one of such toponyms it is derived from earlier -augl- with unknown meaning, attested since Old Norse period, but it is rather an exeption from the rule, while mountain names connected to birds are common in Norway (compare e.g. nn Falkenuten).
