Danish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Old Danish weghnæ, from Old Norse vegna, originally a genitive plural of vegr (“way”). The modern construction på vegne af nogen or på nogens vegne "on behalf of somebody" is influenced by Middle Low German van ēnes wegene, cf. German wegen (“because of”), originally a dative plural of way. The Low German expression has also inspired Swedish på ... vägnar, å någons vägnar.
