gårdrum

Gårdrum is a Scandinavian toponym used in rural areas, particularly in Sweden, where it appears as the name of farms or small settlements. The name is likely derived from the elements gård, meaning farm or homestead, and rum, meaning room or space; together they reflect the traditional layout of a farmstead and its buildings. In historical records, gårdrum has been used to designate a farm or a cluster of agricultural buildings and sometimes served as the primary designation for a property in parish registers, land surveys, and maps.

Today there is no single, widely recognized town or city named Gårdrum. Instead, the name appears in multiple, typically small sites or as part of longer place names. Because of this, references to Gårdrum usually require disambiguation by locality, municipality, or county.
