	The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld\|parish]]) is named after the old name for the area ({{lang-non\|Vigisheiðr}}) since the first [[Vegårshei Church]] was built there. The first element is the [[genitive case]] of the name of the lake [[Vegår]]. The meaning of the lake name is uncertain. One theory is that it comes from the word {{wikt-lang\|non\|vé}} which means "[[norse pagan\|pagan]] [[sanctuary]]". Another theory is that it comes from the verb {{wikt-lang\|non\|vígja}} which means "to [[consecrate]]" or "to dedicate". The last element is {{wikt-lang\|non\|heiðr}} which means "[[heath (habitat)\|heath]]" or "[[Moorland\|moor]]". Historically, the name was spelled as ''Wegaardsheien'' or ''Vegaardsheien'', and sometimes it was abbreviated as simply ''Heien''. Prior to the [[Norwegian language conflict\|1917 Norwegian language reform law]], the name was spelled with the [[digraph (orthography)\|digraph]] "[[Aa (digraph)\|aa]]", and after this reform, the letter [[å]] was used instead.<ref name="snl" /><ref>{{Cite book \|last=Rygh \|first=Oluf \|url=https://~~www~~.google.com/books~~/edition/Norske_gaardnavne/u4pBAAAAIAAJ~~?hl=~~en&gbpv=0~~ \|title=Norske gaardnavne: Nedenes amt \|date=1905 \|publisher=W.
