Ullern is a borough of the city of Oslo, Norway. Ullern was established as a parish in the municipality of Aker in 1906. Ullern became a part of Oslo (together with the rest of Aker) in 1948.
[edit] Etymology
The borough has its name from an old farm, Norse Ullarin. The first element is the genitive case of the name of the Norse god Ullr. The last element is vin, meaning pasture or meadow.
