"Kopenhagen" meaning in German

See Kopenhagen in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /kopənˈhaːɡən/, [ko.pm̩ˈhaː.ɡŋ̍], [ˌkɔ-], [ˌkoː-], [-p(ə)nˈhaː.ɡ(ə)n] Audio: De-Kopenhagen.ogg Forms: Kopenhagens [genitive], Kopenhagen [genitive, with-article]
Etymology: From Middle Low German Kôpenhāgen, older Kôpenhāven, Kôpmanhāven, from Old Danish Køp(m)enhafn, Køpmannæhafn. The full form of the name translates to “merchants’ harbour” in both Low German and Danish. More contracted forms appear in both languages alongside, so there is no need to see the development as folk etymology (“buying harbour”, although it may have been intrepreted thus by Low German speakers at a later stage). Etymology templates: {{bor|de|gml|Kôpenhāgen}} Middle Low German Kôpenhāgen, {{der|de|gmq-oda|Køpmenhafn|Køp(m)enhafn}} Old Danish Køp(m)enhafn Head templates: {{de-proper noun|toponym}} Kopenhagen n (proper noun, genitive Kopenhagens or (optionally with an article) Kopenhagen)
