Drontheim

== German == === Etymology === From Middle Low German Dronthêm, from Old Norse Þróndheimr. Compare English Throndham. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈdrɔntˌhaɪ̯m/ === Proper noun === Drontheim n (proper noun, genitive Drontheims or (optionally with an article) Drontheim) (historical or archaic) alternative form of Trondheim (“Trondheim (a city and municipality of Trøndelag county)”) (historical) synonym of Tröndelag (“Trøndelag”) ==== Usage notes ==== Before 1931, the official Norwegian name was Trondhjem. Since the change to Trondheim, the difference of the German form has been marginal, which has surely contributed to its decline. It is now only used in historical contexts, chiefly those of the Hanseatic League. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ====
