The village (and the parish) is named after the old Vigmostad farm (Old Norse: Vígmundarstaðir), since that is the location of Vigmostad Church. The first element of the name is the old male name Vígmundar (river-mouth) or Vígmarr (river-mare(sea)) and the last element is staðir which means "homestead" or "farm".
