A country in northern Europe, part of Scandinavia, known for its high standard of living, coastal islands, and capital city, Copenhagen.
The name comes from Old Norse *Danmǫrk*, meaning 'borderland of the Danes' or 'march of the Danes'. *Dan-* refers to the Danish people, and *-mark* meant a border region or frontier.
Denmark is small in size but large in cultural influence—think of LEGO, fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen, and modern design. Its name literally points to a frontier, a reminder that even today’s peaceful places were once contested borders.
