The word gard still also means fence in Norwegian. Still in use i the words “Skigard” (using the original meaning of the word ski as wood split lengthwise) and “steingard”.

Also in the word “manngard” as a line of people moving forward when searching for something or someone.

It also means the word gård.

It’s Miklagard (old Norse name for the city)

"Gard"means wall/fence and is incidentally where you get gorod in Russian/Slavic languages I think.
