Borrowed from Latin Scandināvia, from Proto-Germanic *Skadinawjō (“Scadia island”) (compare Old English Sċedeniġ, Old Norse Skáney > Swedish Skåne (“southern tip of Sweden, Scania”)), with the suffix *awjō (“island”) (compare Old English īġ, īeġ (“island”), whence dialectal modern English ey; Old Norse ey (“island”)). Doublet of Scania.
Scandinavia
- Denmark, Norway, and Sweden collectively and sometimes Finland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands.

The Faroes are an obscure corner of Scandinavia and, apart from Lapland, Scandinavia is perhaps the most obscure corner of the world, ethnographically speaking.
2002, Kenneth R. Evans, Lisa K. Scheer, editors, 2002 AMA Winter Educators’ Conference: Marketing Theory and Applications[2], volume 13, page 423:
