		Since the Viking age, the Scandinavians have called it "the Eastern Lake" Austmarr, "Eastern Sea", appears in the Heimskringla, but Saxo Grammaticus recorded in Gesta Danorum an older name Gandvik, "-vik" being Old Norse for "bay", which implies that the Vikings correctly regarded it as an inlet of the sea.
		Another form of the name, "Grandvik", attested in at least one English translation of Gesta Danorum, is likely to be a misspelling.
