Øverød was originally an ancient village. The name is recorded in 1370-80 as Øbæruth, which is derived from the old Danish male name Ø̄pi and -rød, meaning "clearing in the forest" (rydning).[1] Most of the modern neighbourhood of Øverød date from the years after 1959 when the road Borgmester Schneiders Vej was constructed.[1]
