A hearthome is a location that resonates with a person's sense of self.[1] One is unlikely to have been raised in or to have spent very much, if any, time physically located in their hearthome.[2]

Hearthomes can be real locations[3] or fictional locations.[4]

While discovering a hearthome, some question having a kintype who lives in that location, but conclude that they do not.[1][4]

The experience of a hearthome may overlap with fandom experiences.[5]

A person who has one or more hearthomes may be called hearthic.[6]
