Heim

Heim is the German equivalent of the English word home. It is a common German and Norwegian suffix in place names (for example Mannheim and Trondheim), and may refer to:

• Heim, Norway, a village and former municipality in Sør-Trøndelag county
• Heim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada
• Heim (vehicle manufacturer) a vehicle manufacturer in Germany

(In Norwegian place names the Old Norse word heimr is often weakened to just -um, -eim, -im, or even just -m. See for instance Bærum, Elverum, Modum, Sørum, Bjerkreim, Askim and Sem. The old form has, however, been revived in some names - see for instance Austrheim, Grindheim, Jessheim and Jotunheimen.)
