Street names in Iceland typically consist of two elements. The first element is chosen in alphabetical order and conforming to the neighborhood's theme (usually nature-related), and the second element is shared by all the streets in a neighborhood. The ending is also usually used to denote the neighbourhood; for example, a neighborhood whose streets all end in ''–salir'' (hall) is called ''Salahverfi'' (neighbourhood of the halls). Some older neighborhoods do not follow the alphabetical order for streets. Exceptions do exist but the general rule is as above. ==Common endings== In alphabetical order: *-ás (ridge) *-bakki (river bank) *-barð (embankment) *-baugur (ring) *-berg (rock) *-borg (town, butte) *-borgir (towns, buttes) *-braut (runway) *-brekka (escarpment) *-brún (embankment) *-bryggja (pier) *-búð (smallholding) *-byggð (settlement) *-bær (farm, town) *-endi (end) *-fell (mount) *-flöt (grassland) *-garðar (gardens) *-garður (garden) *-gata (street) *-geisli (ray) *-gerði (hedge) *-gil (canyon) *-grandi (isthmus) *-grund (ground) *-hagi (pasture) *-háls (ridge) *-heiði (heath) *-heimar (worlds) *-hjalli (terrace) *-hlíð (hillside) *-holt (hill, older meaning: forest) *-hólar (hillocks) *-hólmi (islet) *-hraun (lava) *-hús (houses) *-hvammur (grassy dell) *-hvarf (varve) *-hylur (pool) *-hæð (mount) *-höfði (cape) *-kinn (mountain slope) *-klöpp (rock) *-kór (quire) *-kvísl (river fork) *-land (land) *-leiti (hill) *-lind (spring) *-lundur (grove) *-melur (gravel bed) *-móar (moorland) *-múli (cape) *-mýri (marsh) *-nes (promontory) *-rimi (ridge) *-salir (hall) *-sel (lodge) *-síða (side) *-slóð (path) *-smári (clover) *-skjól (shelter) *-skógar (woods) *-stekkur (grove) *-stígur (trail) *-stræti (street) *-strönd (coast) *-teigur (small grassland) *-torg (square) *-tröð (path) *-tunga (tongue of land) *-tún (grassland), such as Borgartún *-vangur (open area) *-vegur (road), such as Kaldidalsvegur and Laugavegur *-vellir (fields) *-vogur (cove) *-vík (bay) *-vör (landing) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Street names in Iceland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
