The word "Scandinavia" is a Latinization of the Proto-Norse name "Skaðinawjō," which probably meant "dangerous island." The term probably referred originally to what is today called Scania or Skåne, which is a part of southern Sweden. The modern term now has two meanings. If defined narrowly, "Scandinavia" refers to Norway, Sweden, and usually Denmark. If defined broadly (as a translation of the word "Norden" or as a synonym for the Nordic countries), it includes Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, the Faeroe Islands, Greenland, and Finland--and sometimes though more rarely Estonia.
