Pite

Pite is a toponym most often associated with Sweden, where it appears in the name of Piteå, a coastal town and the seat of Piteå Municipality in Norrbotten County. Piteå lies on the Gulf of Bothnia and has a history as a regional center for commerce, culture, and industry. The municipality includes both urban areas and surrounding rural districts, and the town serves as a local hub for services and events in the region.

The Pite River, known in Swedish as Pite älv, is a major river in northern Sweden. It rises in the inland mountains and flows northeast through Västerbotten and into the Gulf of Bothnia near Piteå. The river's watershed supports forestry, hydroelectric power generation, and communities located along its course.

In addition to these primary uses, the form Pite may appear as part of other place names or as a component of surnames and geographic identifiers in regions influenced by Swedish toponymy. The term does not have a widely recognized meaning beyond these geographic contexts.
