Origins of names

[edit]

https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/RE:Codanus_sinus (entry in Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, 1900).

Codanus could come from the Germanic root kad- / kod- for "shallow gulf" and would have been the local Germanic name for the "gulf". Or "sack" because of the shape of the Baltic.

The name Scadinavia comes rather from the Germanic root skaðin- / skadin- (coast, rocky country). Mela used the spelling Codannovia and Pliny, who knew Mela's text, Scadinavia for Scandinavia. Revery (talk) 10:35, 22 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
