Hätta don´t mean Hill. The word "Hätta" is a type of hat the nurses had in older time. Hill in swedish are "kulle".
My name is Leif and i am born in Trollhättan 1963 where i still live.
At the Trollhättan city homepage: [1] you can read:
The name "Trollhättan" comes from the folkloristic tales. People once believed that big trolls were living in the river and that the islands in the river where the trolls' hoods (=hättor).
Manhattan
[edit]Trollhattan:Troll::Manhattan:Man? :)
- I noticed that, too. I doubt it will be long before someone creates a "Trollhattan" user account and claims an exception from the policy against names containing the word "troll". jdb ❋ 07:20, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
What is the demonym for the residents of Trollhattan? LorenzoB (talk) 04:46, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- In Swedish they are called "Trollhättebor", which means Trollhattan residents. --BIL (talk) 13:53, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think demonyms are seldom used in Swedish (other that nationalities and such things). We use to attache the word -bor - residents or perhaps -are (Stockholmare - Stockholmers). There are some rare cases like kalmarit for a person from Kalmar. But in such cases the person is born and raised in Kalmar (but perhaps living in another place) and not just a resident (born and raised in another place) Otherwise he is just a Kalmarbo. --Muniswede (talk) 19:19, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
