Sørreisa is a municipality in the county of Troms, Norway.

Sørreisa was separated from Tranøy September 1, 1886.

The name

The municipality is named after Reisafjorden (originally "*Reisa"), which again is named after Reisaelva ('Reisa river' - originally "*Reisa"). The rivername is derived from the verb "rísa" 'raise' (referring to flooding).

The first element "Sør" was added to distinguish the municipality from Nordreisa.

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times (1984). It shows three stars. (The motive is taken from the seal of Jacob Hansen Kinapel - who was a police sergeant in Sørreisa from 1715 to 1748.)
