Bronx
纽约市的一个行政区,以在1641年定居于此的乔纳斯· Bronck 命名。
Jonas Bronck, who arrived at New Amsterdam in 1639, and whose name is perpetuated in Bronx Borough, Bronx Park, Bronxville — in New York — was a Scandinavian, in all probability a Dane and originally, as it seems, from Thorshavn, Faroe Islands, where his father was a pastor in the Lutheran Church. Faroe then belonged to Denmark-Norway and had been settled by Norwegians. The official language of the island in Bronck's days was Danish. ... Bronck may have been a Swede if we judge by the name alone for the name of Brunke is well known in Sweden. [John Oluf Evjen, "Scandinavian immigrants in New York, 1630-1674," Minneapolis, 1916]
乔纳斯·布朗克于1639年抵达新阿姆斯特丹,他的名字在纽约的布朗克斯区、布朗克斯公园和布朗克斯维尔得以永久纪念,他很可能是一个斯堪的纳维亚人,很可能是丹麦人,最初来自法罗群岛的托尔斯哈文,他的父亲是路德会教堂的牧师。当时,法罗群岛属于丹麦-挪威,曾被挪威人定居。布朗克时代岛上的官方语言是丹麦语。...如果仅从名字判断,布朗克可能是瑞典人,因为布伦克这个名字在瑞典很有名。[约翰·奥卢夫·埃夫杰恩,《纽约的斯堪的纳维亚移民,1630-1674》,明尼阿波利斯,1916年]
