Name

The parish of Heim was established in 1884. It is named after the old Heim farm (Old Norse: Heimr), since the Heim Church is built on its ground. The name is identical with the word heimr which means "home", "homestead", or "farm".[3]

gollark: Well, "direct self-interest", I suppose, not wanting a stupid economic system is partly for self-interest reasons too.

gollark: um.

gollark: I think there are *at least* two good couples.
