'''Lierne''' is a [[municipalities of Norway|municipality]] in the Norwegian
[[counties of Norway|county]] of [[Nord-Trøndelag]].
Lierne was separated from [[Snåsa]] [[January 1]], [[1874]]. It was divided in two municipalities [[July 1]], [[1915]] ([[Nordli]] and [[Sørli]]) - but these were again merged to one [[January 1]], [[1964]].
The cross-country race ''[[Flyktningerennet]]'' is arranged here every year. It is a race following a route from Nordli to [[Gäddede]], [[Strömsund Municipality]], [[Sweden]], in remembrance of the people who fled [[Nazi occupation of Norway|Nazi German-occupied Norway]] for Sweden during the [[World War II|Second World War]].
The municipality is known for its [[bear]]s, which the sheep farmers consider a recurring problem.
==Name==
The [[Old Norse]] form of the name was ''Finnalíð'', where the first element is the plural genitive case of ''finnr'' m '[[Sami]] person' (because the district was mostly populated by Sami people at the time).
The later form ''Lierne'' is the plural form of ''líð/li'' f 'mountain side'.
==Coat-of-arms==
The coat-of-arms is from 1984. It shows three birds of grouse ([[Lagopus lagopus]]), which is plentiful in the municipality.
(See also the coat-of-arms of [[Sirdal]] and [[Holtålen]].)
