Tennerkilde

Tennerkilde is a Danish place-name used for several small rural localities in Denmark. The name is a compound of the Danish element kilde, meaning spring or source, with a preceding element whose exact origin varies by locality. In many cases the first element is thought to reflect a personal name or a descriptive term, but there is no single, uniform explanation across all instances of the name.

Geography and usage

Tennerkilde designations are typically associated with small settlements or farmsteads. The name often indicates proximity to a natural water feature such as a spring or a stream, in line with a common pattern in Danish toponymy of naming places after local environmental features. Because Tennerkilde refers to several distinct places, each instance has its own geographic and administrative context within its municipality.

History and administration

Historical references to Tennerkilde appear in parish records, land registries, and local maps in different regions of Denmark. With municipal reforms in the 20th century, individual Tennerkilde sites were incorporated into larger municipalities, and the name now persists as a local toponym rather than a separate administrative entity. Each location maintains its own local history within the broader municipal framework.
