Norway: meaning of name:

my grandmother brought her clan from norway and settled in wisconsin, then moved clan to austin,tx, six weeks later she moved all to houston, tx. her late husband (commerical fisherman) died at sea. she tried to move to states and couldn't get a visa. so she married her gardener and refused to take his name. they settled on the name of her estate which is "skarness". i was born in madison, wisconsin in 1941 and have heard above story many times. BUT, i never heard what the name "skarness" means in norway. hopefully somebody out there can get me a definition. thank-you, john
