==Name==
The first part of the name Kalvåg (previously spelled ''Kalvaag'') comes from the verb ''kala'' which means "to make cold" or "to freeze". The second element is the genitive case of the Old Norse ''vágr'' which means "bay", therefore the name could be explained as a bay which often freezes in winter.〔
