Unknown. There has been published a multitude about the etymology and it depends on whether early occurrences of resembling toponyms refer to this location, the oldest a Bylanuelde farmland conveyed to Corvey in the mid 9th century, next a Biliuelde in the Vita Meinwerci from the 1160s relating occurrences between 1015 and 1036, then a 12th century Bylivelt; only in the 13th century the name of the town occurs clearly and oftener, following which the foundation year is conventionally reckoned the year 1214. A recent overview of the theories is given by Meineke 2013. The areal extent of the city to which the term refers derives from incorporations in 1900, 1907, 1930, and 1973.

Die obigen Ausführungen machen deutlich, dass der Begriff des Althochdeutschen neben seiner zeitlichen und räumlichen auch einer sprachlichen Präzision bedarf (für [..] vgl. Kapitel [..]). Er soll als Oberbegriff verstanden werden, unter dem jene Dialekte des Germanischen subsumiert werden, die sich durch bestimmte gemeinsame Merkmale auszeichnen. Im Speziellen handelt es sich um das Langobardische,²⁸⁰ das Altbairische, das Altalemannische sowie als Teil des Altfränkischen das Mittel-, Rhein-, Ost- und Südrheinfränkische.

Xanten

Xanten n (proper noun, genitive Xantens or (optionally with an article) Xanten)

Xantens (genitive)
Xanten (genitive with-article)

From Middle High German Sante(n), from Latin Sanctos (literally “(at) the saints”). The spelling with initial X- first appears in Latin texts of the 10th century. One theory links it with Ancient Greek Ξάνθος (Xánthos), the gods’ name for the Scamander river near Troy according to the Iliad. This theory is based on the fact that there was indeed a well-attested mediaeval legend equating Xanten with Troy. The inherited local pronunciation is Santen /ˈsan.tən/, but it has now been widely displaced by the spelling pronunciation. Xanten is the only German locality in X- (though there are a few Bavarian ones in Gs-, also pronounced with /ks/).
