The name Visby is derived from the old Norse ve (sanctuary) and by (town). This was no doubt a place of religious sacrifice in heathen times. At any rate it was a notable trading-place and emporium as early as the Stone Age, and continued to enjoy its importance as such through the Bronze and Iron Ages, as' isproved, inter olio, by the large number of Arabic, Anglo-Saxon and other coins which have been found on the island. See GOTLAND and SEA LAWS. End of Article: VISBY, or WISBY If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
