Even though the word is old (used in Sweden since before 1520), I think the
modern use of it in English comes from the modern word used in Scandinavia
(not only Norway) today. According to Ensyclopedia Britanica it comes from Sweden in the 50*s.
Otherwise the spelling in English would have been
different (my oppinion) as the spelling in Scandinavia has changed during
the years.
