Yeah that does, thanks. I was just curious as the north of the UK uses the word 'Tarn' (sometimes with a name beforehand) for them and I would have assumed it was related to a Norse word.

Could be, «Tjern» is also a common word in Norwegian meaning smaller body of water.

Yeah probably. We use it widely for all sizes up to a small lake, probably less specific use than the Norwegians.
