The name
The first element is the name of the river Memuru (Muru), the last element is the finite form of tind m 'mountain peak'. The rivername is derived from the verb mara 'dig' - the first element Me- is from Old Norse mið 'in the middle', because the mouth of the river is almost exactly at the middle of the lake Gjendin.
The word store means 'the big'.
