A Scandinavian and German name for a male, or a unit of land area equal to 100 square meters.
As a name, from Old Norse elements. As a land measurement, from Germanic 'arne,' historically used in Northern Europe for measuring property.
The 'are' unit of land measurement comes from the same root—100 ares equals a hectare, and it's still officially used across Europe because it's a perfect size for measuring farms and property!
