From Middle High German Sante(n), from Latin Sanctos (literally “(at) the saints”). The spelling with initial X- first appears in Latin texts of the 10th century. One theory links it with Ancient Greek Ξάνθος (Xánthos), the gods’ name for the Scamander river near Troy according to the Iliad. This theory is based on the fact that there was indeed a well-attested mediaeval legend equating Xanten with Troy. The inherited local pronunciation is Santen /ˈsan.tən/, but it has now been widely displaced by the spelling pronunciation. Xanten is the only German locality in X- (though there are a few Bavarian ones in Gs-, also pronounced with /ks/).

Bautzen (definite nominative singular)
Bautzens (definite genitive singular)
Bautzen (definite genitive singular with-article)
Bautzen (dative definite singular)
Bautzen (accusative definite singular)

From Middle High German Būdessen (and spelling variants), from Old Sorbian. Cognate with Upper Sorbian Budyšin, Polish Budziszyn. First attested in a Medieval Latin text as Budusin in 1002. The German form is an entirely regular outcome of the Slavic: Postalveolar -š- was borrowed as retracted Middle High German -s-, and Modern German diphthongisation and syncope then yielded Bautzen.
The further origin is uncertain, but probably Slavic, with suggestions including:
* Named after a prince called Budissentius, Budestaus, or alternatively a female *Budiša, from Proto-Slavic *buditi (“to awaken”). Compare names like Budigost, Budimir, Budislav.
* Some sources derive it from the Slavic name of the Ortenburg castle in Bautzen, which is given as Budetzsch, but they do not explain it further. A derivation from Upper Sorbian buda (“hut”) is highly unlikely as this is a Germanic loanword.
* Bautzen legend/folk etymology explains the name by a tale in which a traveling duchess gave birth in present-day Bautzen, during which the rushing husband asked budeli ssen, or perhaps in modern Upper Sorbian budźe syn? (“will it be a son?”).

Lüneburgs (genitive)
Lüneburg (genitive with-article)

English: Lunenburg, Luneburg, Lüneburg

French: Lunenburg, Lunebourg

/ˈlyːnəˌbʊʁç/

From Middle Low German Lü̂neborch, from an Old Saxon name attested in Latinised form as Luniburc (mid-10th century). The Old Saxon is generally construed as *Hliuniburg, after an identified placename Hliuni that occurs in the annals of Charlemagne (ca. 800). This in turn is usually considered a derivative of hlēo (“hill, burial mound, dam, bastion, shelter”), from Proto-Germanic *hlaiwą. Compare the Westphalian placename Lünen. On the other hand, it seems clear that the similarity to the Polabian name of the town Glain, Glein, Chlein can hardly be coincidental. The Polabian might be from Germanic, but it has also been connected with Proto-Slavic *glina (“clay, loam”).
