Proper name [Norwegian Nynorsk]

IPA: /²ʂeː.ən/, [ˈʂêː.ə̌n], [ˈʃêː.ə̌n], /²ʂi.ən/ (note: occasionally outside of Skien)
Etymology: Danicised form of a Norwegian Skìda; from Old Norse Skiða, likely from a river name derived from skíða (“piece of split wood; plank”), which may refer to a straight river course. It can also come from a related strong verb (*skíða < *skīþaną) and mean “the splitting (river)”. This would also explain the short vowel, cf. skriða f from skríða. Whether the Old Norse form was Skiða or Skíða is unclear, but the modern pronunciation with /e/ suggests the first. Etymology templates: {{inh|nn|non|Skiða}} Old Norse Skiða, {{mention-gloss|the splitting (river)}} “the splitting (river)” Head templates: {{head|nn|proper noun}} Skien

  "etymology_text": "Danicised form of a Norwegian Skìda; from Old Norse Skiða, likely from a river name derived from skíða (“piece of split wood; plank”), which may refer to a straight river course. It can also come from a related strong verb (*skíða < *skīþaną) and mean “the splitting (river)”. This would also explain the short vowel, cf. skriða f from skríða. Whether the Old Norse form was Skiða or Skíða is unclear, but the modern pronunciation with /e/ suggests the first.",
