Kyte is a hamlet and basic statistical unit (grunnkrets) in the municipality of Voss in Vestland county, Norway.[2]
Kyte includes Nedra Kyte[3] (literally, 'lower Kyte'; elevation 270m (890feet))[1] to the southwest and Øvre Kyte[4] (literally, 'upper Kyte'; elevation 307m (1,007feet))[1] to the northeast.[5] [6] The settlement is accessible via Norwegian County Road 308, also known as Kytesvegen 'Kyte Road'.[7]
The settlement was attested as Kytuin in 1303 (and as Kytin in 1417 and Kythen in 1468, among other names).[5] The name is originally a compound of *Kýt-(v)in; the first element may mean 'hump, rise' and the second element, vin, is a common Old Norse place-name element meaning 'meadow, pasture'.[5]
