From Old Norse staðr (“place; city”), from Proto-Germanic *stadiz. Cognate with German Statt and English stead, which are both restricted in their use. The meaning "city" is found in the cognates Danish stad, Swedish stad (“city”), and German Stadt (“city”).

The Danish form sted has its vowel from the plural, cf. stæder (“cities”).
