Jutland
Jutland (pronunciation: /ˈjʌtlənd/) is a geographical and historical region of Denmark. It is not a medical term, but it is significant in the field of medical history due to the epidemiological studies and health-related events that have taken place there.
Etymology
The term "Jutland" is derived from the Old Norse words jút, meaning "Jute" (the name of a Germanic people), and land, meaning "land". The Jutes were one of the three most powerful Germanic tribes of their time.
