Thule \Thu"le\, n. [L. Thule, Thyle, Gr. ?, ?.]
The name given by ancient geographers to the northernmost
part of the habitable world. According to some, this land was
Norway, according to others, Iceland, or more probably
Mainland, the largest of the Shetland islands; hence, the
Latin phrase ultima Thule, farthest Thule.
