Furuholm

Furuholm is a Nordic toponym and, occasionally, a surname. The name combines furu, meaning pine, with holm, meaning islet or island, reflecting a landscape feature where pine stands grow on small landforms near water. As a place name, Furuholm has been used for several small localities in Swedish-speaking regions of Northern Europe. None of these localities plays a major role in regional or national administration, and there is no single widely recognized Furuholm on national maps. The exact identity of a given Furuholm depends on local records, historic parish boundaries, and municipal organisation, which can change over time through boundary reforms.

In addition to its use as a toponym, Furuholm may be encountered as a surname in Sweden and Finland, particularly among people with Swedish-speaking heritage. As with many Nordic surnames, it may have been adopted from a place of origin or residence.

Related terms include holm (islet) and furu (pine), which frequently appear separately or in other compound toponyms in the region.
