Prior to 1 January 2020, the village was the administrative center of Lindesnes municipality.

The village of Vigeland was named for the historic Vigeland farm which was located where the village is now. The farm was first documented in 1390 . The first element is the genitive case of the Old Norse personal name Víkingi meaning "land owned by Víkingi". The first element could also be the genitive plural case of the Old Norse word víkingr meaning "Viking" but the use of such a name would be a bit obscure.
