"Bautzen" meaning in German

See Bautzen in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈbaʊ̯tsən/, [ˈbaʊ̯.t͡sn̩] Audio: De-Bautzen.ogg , De-Bautzen2.ogg Forms: Bautzens [genitive], Bautzen [genitive, with-article], neuter [table-tags], Bautzen [definite, nominative, singular], Bautzens [definite, genitive, singular], Bautzen [definite, genitive, singular, with-article], Bautzen [dative, definite, singular], Bautzen [accusative, definite, singular]
Rhymes: -aʊ̯tsən, -aʊ̯t͡sn̩ Etymology: 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?”). Compare also Bautzen at German Wikipedia.

  "etymology_text": "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.\nThe further origin is uncertain, but probably Slavic, with suggestions including:\n* Named after a prince called Budissentius, Budestaus, or alternatively a female *Budiša, from Proto-Slavic *buditi (“to awaken”). Compare names like Budigost, Budimir, Budislav.\n* 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.\n* 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?”).\nCompare also Bautzen at German Wikipedia.",
