The mountain was historically called Svålen or Svolen and now that name usually refers to one of the lower peaks on the east side of the mountain.[2]
The mountain is popular among climbers, in particular Svolværgeita, a 150 m (490 ft) high pinnacle at the southern face of Fløya, which resembles a goat with two horns.[3][4]
