"Lüneburg" meaning in German

See Lüneburg in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈlyːnəˌbʊʁk/, /ˈlyːnəˌbʊʁç/ Audio: De-Lüneburg.ogg Forms: Lüneburgs [genitive], Lüneburg [genitive, with-article]
Etymology: 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”).

On the other hand, it seems clear that the similarity to the Polabian name of the town Glain, Glein, Chlein can hardly be coincidental.

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.
