"Sauerland" meaning in German

See Sauerland in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈzaʊ̯ɐlant/ Audio: De-Sauerland.ogg Forms: das Sauerland [canonical, neuter], des Sauerlandes [definite, genitive], des Sauerlands [definite, genitive]
Etymology: First mentioned in 1266 as Suderlande; the -d- started to disappear around 1400. The first part is possibly a corruption of a Westphalian Low German word for southern: compare süder-, Süd, Old Saxon sûðar, all from sūth, from Proto-West Germanic *sunþr. This is more likely than the theory that it is directly from sauer (“sour”, in this sense "poor soil"). The second part is related to Land.
