From Old Danish hiarnæ, hiærnæ, from Old Norse hjarni (“brain”), from Proto-Germanic *hersô (“brain”), genitive *herznaz,[1] from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂s- (“head”). The same Germanic word is the source of Danish isse (“crown of head”), from Old Norse hjarsi, hjassi. A collective formation from this word is found in German Hirn, Gehirn, from Proto-Germanic *hirzniją (“brain”).
