Proper name

IPA: /ˈvʏʁtəmbɛʁk/ Audio: De-Württemberg.ogg Forms: Württembergs [genitive], Württemberg [genitive, with-article]
Etymology: Named after the mountain Württemberg in Stuttgart-Rotenberg, probably of Celtic/Gaulish origin, from *Wirodūnon, composed of *wiros (“man”) and *dūnom (“fortress, hill”). This is also the source of the French city Verdun, Latinized as Medieval Latin Virodūnum in the middle ages. Some prefer a derivation from the House of Württemberg in Luxembourg, but this could itself be from the Celtic name.
