Budissin (alternative)
BZ (alternative initialism)

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?”).

Viel zu lange sitze sie schon in Altenburg fest, das Gerede, dieses Theater sei ein Sprungbrett, habe noch nie gestimmt. »Ich ertrage dieses Kaff nicht mehr!« schrie sie.

2005, Ingo Schulze, Neue Leben, published 2010, →ISBN:
