Etymology of JYLLAND

The word "jylland" is derived from Old Norse, an ancient North Germanic language that was spoken in Scandinavia during the Viking Age.

The Old Norse word for "jylland" is "Jǫtland", which translates to "the land of the Jótar". The Jótar were a tribe that lived in the Jutland Peninsula, the western part of modern-day Denmark.

Over time, the Old Norse word "Jǫtland" transformed into the Middle Low German word "Jutland", and eventually into the modern Danish word "jylland". The term "jylland" is now used to refer to the region of Denmark that encompasses the Jutland Peninsula.
