Nordheim (also spelled Norheim) is a hamlet and basic statistical unit (grunnkrets) in the municipality of Voss in Vestland county, Norway.[2]
The settlement lies along Norwegian County Road 308, also known as Kytesvegen 'Kyte Road' after the hamlet of Kyte,[3] and has an elevation of 297m (974feet).[1] [4]
The settlement was attested as Norem in 1563 and 1611 (and as Noreim in 1695 and Norheim in 1723).[5] The original name is reconstructed as the compound *Norðreimr, from norðr 'north' and (h)eimr 'home, house'.[5]
