One of the asteroids in the Asteroid belt, 9267 Lokrume, is named after this place.[10]
The name Lokrume is from the 14th century name Lokarum and consists of the lok or lauk being the name of a farm, Lauks, and rum meaning "open place". This sums up to "The open place belonging to the Lauks people".[11] Gervid Lauk was a 14th-century county judge living in Lokrume, one of the medieval houses belonging to his estate still remains at the Lauks farm.[12]
There are several minor Viking Age grave fields and stone ships,[13] as well as larger stones with Iron Age grinding grooves.[14] Four silver treasures has been found at Lokrume,[15] as was the Viking Age Lokrume helmet fragment.
