Lödrester

Lödrester is a toponym used in Sweden to denote several small settlements or farmsteads in historical and geographical sources. The name is not tied to a single well-defined place in contemporary maps.

The toponym appears in historical documents with various spellings, reflecting changes in Swedish orthography. The suffix -ster is a common element in Swedish place-names from medieval times, typically indicating a farmstead or inhabited place. The initial element Lödre- could be a personal name or a local geographical feature, but precise origins are not definitively established.

In parish registers and land records, Lödrester is encountered as part of longer place-names or as a stand-alone toponym for small settlements. The name may appear in different spellings across centuries.

Today, Lödrester has limited administrative significance and is mainly of interest to scholars in onomastics, archaeology, or local history. There are no widely used contemporary communities named exactly Lödrester.
