The name

The neighbourhood is named after the farm Storo. This farm was the big (store) part of the old farm O. The farm O is first mentioned in 1279 ("Oo"), and the name is identical with the Norse word ó, a sideform of á f 'river' (here Akerselva river).

The farm was divided into two parts around 1550 AD: Storo ("Store O") and Lillo ("Lille O" - lille means 'little').
