Pronounced as (IPA)

/ˈɡʁøːnlant/

Etymology

Borrowed from Danish: Grønland

Borrowed from Low German: Gröönland

In summary

From Middle Low German Grö̂nlant, a calque of Old Norse Grǿnland (“Greenland”), from grǿnn (“green”) + land (“land”). The High-Germanized form Grünland did not establish itself; that with -ö- was reinforced by Danish Grønland. Compare the same in Island.
