Bjørnli

== Norwegian Nynorsk == === Etymology === From bjørn +‎ li. Probably related to Bjørndal, a small uninhabited valley behind Fagerli. The houses in the area were built mainly after 1913, but the name is probably older. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bjœɳli/ === Proper noun === Bjørnli a village in Trøndelag, Norway, close to Løkken Verk ==== Usage notes ==== Defined form *Bjørnlia or a possible spelling as *Bjørnlid are never used. Pronunciation with /ɲ/ instead of /ɳ/, expected in local dialect, is not used (at least today), what can point to a young origin of the toponym. Of this reason, spelling *Bjønnli is never used. ==== Derived terms ==== Bjørnlibekken Bjørnlivatn Bjørnlivegen
