Hanusará
Hanusará is a small river in the village of Sørvágur on the Faroe Islands. Hanusará translates to 'the river of Hanus'. Hanus is a Faroese male name, but it is unclear whom the river is named after. although it is possible that the river is named after and old Faroese goddess but this is hard to confirm as most of the early Faroen history is lost.
The first settlements in Sørvágur were alongside this small river.
