Origin
The origins of the term are unclear, but it has been a part of Danish culture for centuries, and is often associated with the idea of "Danishness." In recent years, the concept of hygge has gained popularity outside of Denmark, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom, where it has been embraced as a way to promote well-being and happiness in daily life. The term has been used to market a variety of products, from candles to books, and has become a cultural phenomenon in its own right.
