December  UTC  Somewhat surprising comment that you dont consider the very origin of the country you live in encyclopaedic Luckily some do The very funny thing is that just about any information about Denmark before the year  including much of the Viking age is nothing but urban legends and speculation that scholar interested in these things try to string together with just about no verifiable references or facts In fact that goes for much of world history Example if I remember correct the entire chronology of Ancient Egypt is based on  or  solid dates with  some pharaohs aligned into that over  years Can you imagine the scope of error that is available here yet I would be terrible sad if someone suggested deleting Ancient Egypt on account of no verifiable references or facts What I have added is what various Danish scholars has arrived at in summarises form already Too much text is not an argument this is how the case is and the etymology of Denmark does not come prepacked in a nice little cube to select bits from unfortunately
