General facts:

Fårö is Sweden's 9th largest island with a circumference of 100 km. Fårö's population in 2022 is 508 people and every summer Fårö is visited by 100,000 tourists and the most visited places are Sudersand and the smoke area.
Fårö's name:
The name of the island, which was written Faroyna and like Farøø during the 14th century, probably consists of the order Father, as in waterway or waters, and island. The name probably has nothing to do with the animal sheep (lamb in Gotlandic), but it can still not be ruled out that the pan-Nordic word get has existed in Old Gutnica.
