Heim is a village in Heim municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The village is located on the western shore of the Hemnfjorden, about east of the village of Hellandsjøen. Heim Church is located in the village. The village was the administrative centre of the old municipality of Heim that existed from 1911 until 1964.[2]
The parish of Heim was established in 1884. It is named after the old Heim farm (Old Norse: Heimr), since the Heim Church is built on its ground. The name is identical with the word heimr which means "home", "homestead", or "farm".[3]
