porten

/pˈɔɹʔn̩/ name

the Porte, the Sublime Porte, the High Porte, the Ottoman imperial government

Word Origin Porten is a Scandinavian place name, literally 'the gate' — from Latin porta 'gate' plus the Old Norse definite suffix -en. So it's 'The Gate', probably a town by a harbor entrance. The same porta gives us portal, porter, and even opportunity (ob- 'toward' + portus 'harbor' — a wind blowing toward port).
