Name

The first element is the name of an old farm (Old Norse: Síða). The name of the farm is identical with the word síða which means "side" (here in the sense of the "coast"). The farm is today divided in three parts: Yttersian (Outer-Sian), Midtsian (Middle-Sian) and Innersian (Inner-Sian). The last element is the finite form of strand.[3]

gollark: I do know what a SAT is, but it doesn't seem very relevant.

gollark: No. I do not live there and am fairly happy about that.

gollark: ¿??¿??
