Roinestad (Norwegian: Røynestad) is a hamlet of Kvinesdal municipality, Agder, Norway.
[1] Røynestad is located 7km north of the municipal seat of Kvinesdal, on the river Kvina.
[1] As typical in Norwegian tradition, persons who inhabited that area known as "Roinestad" in Kvinesdal adopted the name as their family (last) name.
While Roinestad (sometimes spelled "Roynestad") is not a common name, there are some Norwegian and United States residents with this name.
Most notably Brooklyn, New York has a relatively high concentration of Roinestads who migrated from Kvinesdal at various times.
