Etymology

The French noun *danois* comes from the Latin *Dania* (“the land of the Danes”), which in turn derives from the Proto‑Germanic name of the tribe *dēnan‑ (cf. English *Danes*). The suffix *‑ois* is the French demonymic ending that turns a place name into an adjective or noun. The word entered Old French in the 13th century to denote the Danish language.
