Meaning & usage
Trondheim (a city and municipality of Trøndelag, Norway)
Where this word comes from
From Old Norse Þróndheimr (“Trondheim, Trøndelag”), first part from þrǿndir, þrǿndr (“a person from Trøndelag”) (from the present participle of þróask (“to grow”), from the reflexive form of Proto-Germanic *þrōwōną, thus farmers) + last part from Old Norse heimr (“realm, world, village, home”). Replaced the Danicised name Trondhjem in 1930. The city was often referred to as kaupangr (“city”) in Old Norse, or more specifically, kaupangr í Þróndheimi (“the city in the district Trøndelag”), which was simplified to just Þróndheimi (“Trondheim, Trøndelag”) during the Middle Ages.
