brandenburg の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Brandenburg はドイツ北東部の地名。語源は伝統的にスラヴ系とされますが、ドイツ語系の Brand「火」+ burg「城塞」で「焼けた要塞」と解する説もあります。関連語は borough、Hamburg の -burg で、地名の芯が「防御の城」だと見えてきます。
Brandenburg is a German place name associated historically with the fortress and settlement of Brandenburg an der Havel. The second element, German Burg, means “fortress” or “castle” and is also found in many other European place names. The origin of the first element is debated; explanations have connected it either with Slavic naming traditions or with German Brand, “fire.” Therefore, the exact original sense should not be treated as certain.
