"Hellas" meaning in Norwegian Nynorsk

See Hellas in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Etymology: Borrowed as part of a language planning policy, in 1932, from Greek Ελλάς (Ellás), the Katharevousa form in use as Greek endonym at the time. This new form was intended to replace the conflicting forms in both Bokmål (Grekenland and Grekerland) and Nynorsk (Grekarland and Grekland) as part of the government's Samnorsk policy during the 1930s, which aimed to bring Bokmål and Nynorsk closer to each other, with the end goal of eventually merging them. Since the Bokmål form Grekenland was a Low German borrowing inherited via Danish Grækenland, it was excluded from Nynorsk in favour of Norwegian forms. Meanwhile, the Nynorsk form Grekarland was incompatible with Bokmål, while Grekerland was incompatible with Nynorsk (since "a Greek" is "ein grekar" in Nynorsk and "en greker" in Bokmål). Although the Samnorsk policy was abandoned by later governments, and the Katharevousa form Ελλάς (Ellás) was superseded as Greek endonym by Standard Modern Greek Ελλάδα (Elláda), the Samnorsk form Hellas remains the most widely used form in both Bokmål and Nynorsk, while the old nonstandard forms are used archaizingly in some contexts.
