Värnamo
Värnamo (), historically known as Wernamo, is a town in Jönköping County in the south of Sweden. It is situated on the river Lagan just north of the lake Vidöstern. It is the seat of Värnamo Municipality and has 19,778 inhabitants as of 31 December 2020. The name comes from old Swedish ''värn'' (sconce) and ''mo'' (sandy flat land). History Värnamo traces its history back to a village in the medieval age; the first written mention of it stems from the 13th century. It came into existence as a village to the eastern side of a fordable place over the Lagan, a river that for large parts is difficult to travel by. As there are also smaller streams to the south and west of this location, it was considered something of a safeguard, leading to its name being amalgamated from the two Swedish words ''värn'', which means safeguard, and ''mo'' which is a geographical location reference describing the kind of land on which the town is situated. The word ''mo'' actually means th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
