Etymology
"Norðurinn" comes from the Old Norse world norðr, meaning "north". The name of the nation is created by using the cognate of the modern representative of Old Norse, which is Icelandic, and adding the definite article suffix -inn. When fully translated, the name of the country is the "Confederacy of the North". The term is coined in 1906 by linguist and political activist Henrik Jakobsen.
