Interesting. "Frank" comes from the Franks. And rike must be related to "reich" (as in "third Reich", and as in "Osterreich"- what the Austrians call their country-eastern realm). Reich means "realm" or "kingdom" or "state" in German. So its "the realm of the Franks".

Yes, that is correct. Well spotted! We say Østerrike in Norwegian, which also literally means eastern realm.
Danmark, Denmark is 'danenes mark'.
Danes actually means flatland habitants, and mark derives from the Norse mork, which means woodland or borderland, and came to encompass the entire country of Denmark.

^ Hey, that's cool. France is also called "Frankreich" in German, and I'd wondered why that was.

The Scandanavian languages are all related to German (except Finnish- which strictly speaking isnt considered Scandanavian).

The Franks were the tribe the conquered much of western europe in the dark ages after the fall of Rome. Their empire soon fell apart but the western part of what had been the Frankish empire became the modern country named after them: France.

That word "mark" to mean "forest", but also means "border", or "property line(the place where the cultivated land ends and the wild land begins)" is probably akin to the archaic meaning of the English word "march" (border), from which both the word "marshal" (the guy who polices the border), and "marsh" (swamp) came from.

Finland isn't Scandinavian. :wink: Scandinavia: Norway, Denmark, Sweden.. The Nordic countries: Scandinavia, Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Greenland

Etymology is interesting.
