first name of Denmark?

Answer 1

The English name, Denmark, is derived from Danish Danmark, but the etymology of the later, and especially the relationship between Danes and Denmark and the unifying of Denmark as a single Kingdom is a subject that attracts considerable debate. The debate is centered primarily around the prefix 'Dan', whether it refer to the Dani or a historic person Dan. The issue is further complicated by a number of references to various Dani people in Scandinavian or other places in Europe in ancient Greek and Roman accounts (like Ptolemy, Jordanes and Gregory of Tours), as well as some medieval literature (like Adam of Bremen, Beowulf, Widsith and Poetic Edda). The -mark ending means "woodland, borderland", similar to Finnmark and Telemark (See Marches).

Some of the earliest descriptions of the origin of the word Denmark in the meaning of a territory, as apposed to a description of a people, is found in Chronicon Lethrense (12th century), Svend Aagesen (late 12th century), Saxo Grammaticus (early 13th century) and the Ballad of Eric (mid 15th century). There are however many more Danish annals and yearbooks containing various other details, sometime similar tales in other variation, sometimes other names or spelling variations, sometime only as small side notes etc.
