    I see, so the Swedes spell it differently.

    Kind of like color and colour!

    We learn British English here. In Swedish, marsipan is pronounced with stress on the last vowel.

    marzipan
    Who invented marzipan?
    Lübeck, Germany
    The invention of marzipan is usually attributed to Lübeck, Germany. Legend has it that during a 15th century famine when flour for making bread became scarce, the senate of Lübeck ordered bakers to create a replacement. Using eggs, sugar, and stores of almonds, the clever bakers came up with marzipan.
