Etymology

The name 'Denmark' comes from the Old Norse term 'Danmวซrk', which means 'border of the Danes'. This name likely originated from the description of the lands that the Danes inhabited and ruled over, as the term 'mวซrk' referred to a border or a boundary. The Danes were a North Germanic tribe that settled in what is now Denmark by the 6th century. Throughout the Middle Ages, Denmark emerged as a unified kingdom under strong monarchs and played a significant role in European history, especially during the Viking Age. The term became formalized through various historical accounts and treaties. Over the centuries, Denmark played a central role in the formation of the Kalmar Union and expanded its influence across Scandinavia and into the North Atlantic. Today, Denmark is known for its high standard of living, strong welfare system, and significant contributions to culture and the arts.
