Nordheim[4] is a hamlet and basic statistical unit (grunnkrets) in Voss Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.[5] The settlement lies along Norwegian County Road 5388, also known as Kytesvegen (lit. 'Kyte Road'), just northwest of the hamlet of Kyte,[6] and it is located at an elevation of 297 meters (974 ft).[3][7]
The 0.29-square-kilometre (72-acre) village has a population (2025) of 355 and a population density of 1,224 inhabitants per square kilometre (3,170/sq mi). Statistics Norway includes the small, neighboring village of Kyte as part of the Nordheim-Kyte urban area.[1]
The settlement was attested as Norem in 1563 and 1611 (and as Noreim in 1695 and Norheim in 1723).[8] The original name is reconstructed as the compound *Norðreimr, from norðr which means 'north' and (h)eimr which means 'home' or 'house'.[8]
