Origin name
The Norse forms of the name of the Norw city Bergen was Bergvin and Bjørgvin. The first element is berg ‘mountain’ or bjørg 'helper' - the last element is vin 'pasture, meadow'. The meaning then could be 'the meadow among the mountains'. (A suitable name: Bergen is often called 'the city among the seven mountains'.)
