Lördan
Lördan is a small island belonging to Sweden in the Stockholm archipelago .
The uninhabited and undeveloped island belongs to the municipality of Nacka and is located north of the island of Tegelön in Höggarnsfärden . The southern part of the island is forested. To the east lies the island of Fredan . The ship's passage from the Baltic Sea to Stockholm runs north of Lördans . Lördan extends from north-west to south-east over about 80 meters, with a width of up to 30 meters.
The name of the island has been documented since 1906 and means Saturday in German . It fits into the row of neighboring islands. From southeast to northwest lie the islands of Måndan (Monday), Tisdan (Tuesday), Onsdan och Torsdan (Wednesday and Thursday), Fredan (Friday) and Lördan (Saturday). There is no island in the series with a name referring to Sunday. The reason for the unusual naming is unclear. Presumably the name was a continuation after an island, Fredan, possibly with a reference to the Nordic goddess Freya , was given a name that refers to a weekday. Other assumptions suggest that farmers used the small islands as pasture on the weekday and that the cattle stayed on Tegelön on Sundays.
