Etymology
From, from an name attested in Latinised form as  (mid-10th century). The Old Saxon is generally construed as, after an identified placename that occurs in the annals of Charlemagne (ca. 800). This in turn is usually considered a derivative of, from. Compare the Westphalian placename. On the other hand, it seems clear that the similarity to the name of the town  can hardly be coincidental. The Polabian might be from Germanic, but it has also been connected with.
