Høyjord

Høyjord is a village in Sandefjord Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway.

[3] The village of Høyjord is also home to an elementary school, kindergarten, and various sports and youth organizations.

Leading up to the merger, some Høyjord residents wanted the village transferred to the neighbouring Re Municipality, but ultimately it became part of Sandefjord.

The first element comes from the plural genitive case of the word haugr which means "cairn" or "burial mound".

It was previously written Haughagiaurdi (in 1374), Haughagiorde (1400), Haagiord and Haajord (1593), and later Høijord and Høyjord.
