Trondheim

From Old Norse Þróndheimr, Þróndeimr, Þrándheimr (“Trondheim, Trøndelag”), from þróndr (plural þrǿndr, þrǿndir) + heimr. Þróndr is possibly from the present participle of þróask (“to grow”), from the reflexive form of Proto-Germanic *þrōwōną. A proposed Proto-Norse ancestor is *ᚦᚱᛟᚹᚨᚾᛞᛁᛉ m pl (*þrowandiʀ /*þrōwandiʀ/) (< *þrōwōną + *-ndz), cf. Old English Þrowendas pl. A similar construction is found in bóndi (“farmer”) from búa (“to reside”), and frændi (“friend”) from frjá (“to love”).
The city’s Old Norse name was Niðaróss (“the mouth of the Nid river”), but was commonly referred to as kaupangr í Þróndheimi (“the city in Trøndelag”). It was later simplified to use only the name of the region, whence also the Danish name Trondhjem. The same tendency is found in modern time when the city is referred to as Staden (“the stead, the city”) or Byen (“the city”) instead of its official name, and genuine dialect forms are found only outside of Trøndelag.
Doublet of Trandum (farm name). Cognates include Faroese Tróndheimur and Icelandic Þrándheimur, and Swedish Trondhem.
