Fjiord means firth (sea bay, strait, inlet, maybe even sound, etc.) Fixed misspelling of strait.

  Interesting, I didn't know about "sea bay" as a translation, thanks.

  FYI this synonym in English is written "strait" (it is an easily-confused homophone with "straight.")

  Fjord or Fiord is more or less the same word as Firth. It was spelled Firþ in old English. Not sure what's going on with the 'o'. It turned into Fjärd in Swedish. At least on the east coast.

    In Icelandic (which hasn't changed much since the settlement of Iceland) it's "fjörður". In Old Norse it would've been "fjörðr".
