What do the Danish and Swedish word stork mean? Exactly what you'd think: "stork." It shares deep etymological roots with the German Storch and the Icelandic storkur, all originating from the Proto-Indo-European root *srgos. But this ancient root didn't just stay in the Germanic family—it also survives today as the Latvian stārķis and the Macedonian штрк (štrk). More maps: https://mapologies.com/birds/
