'''Heim''' is the [[Germany|German]] equivalent of the English word ''home''. It is a common German and Norwegian [[Affix|suffix]] in place names (for example [[Mannheim]] and [[Trondheim]]), and may refer to:
* [[Heim, Norway]], a village and former municipality in [[Sør-Trøndelag]] county
(In Norwegian place names the [[Old Norse]] word ''heimr'' is often weakened to just ''-um'', ''-eim'' and ''-im''. See for instance [[Bærum]], [[Elverum]], [[Modum]], [[Sørum]], [[Bjerkreim]], and [[Askim]]. The old form has, however, been revived in some names - see for instance [[Austrheim]] and [[Jessheim]].)
