Aukland or Augland is a village in the municipality of Lindesnes in Agder county, Norway. The village is located east of Tryland village and north of the village of Vigmostad.

Name

Aukland derives from auke — augeland, which can be translated into increase of land or expansion of hayfields.[2] After hay was cut, farmers in Tryland rowed up the hay, and thus, increase their land, because Augland farm is likely secreted from Tryland.
