Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English north, from Old English norþ, from *norþr, from Proto-Germanic *nurþrą, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *nér (below (the surface)). The meaning developed either from "region where the sun is below (the earth)" or from "left side of someone who turns to the east when praying".
