Berlins (genitive)
Berlin (genitive with-article)
Berlin (plural)

→ Norwegian Bokmål: Berlin

→ Vietnamese: Béc-linh

Margraviate of Brandenburg
de:Belitz
de:Berlin

The place is first mentioned by this name in the late 12th century (as Middle Low German Berlyn).
The origin is unknown. Slavic by the suffix -in.
According to (incorrect) folk etymology, the name is derived from the Bär (“bear”) that is the symbol of the city.
In a popular etymology of Germanists, it is derived from a Polabian stem *berl- ~ *birl- (“swamp”), for which lexical item there is no evidence in Polabian nor in any Slavic language. Closest to that would be an unknown simple of *bьrlogъ (“cave”).
Attested vocabulary is Polabian poro (“swamp, bog”). *bělь also meant a “swampy meadow” or “white field”, which fits the location at the märkische Streusandbüchse, the “Margraviate pounce box” notorious for its sandy soil, and is also the noun behind Belitz.

Berlin ist mehr ein Weltteil als eine Stadt.

1800, Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, (Please provide the book title or journal name):

Berlin is more a part of a world than a city.

1910, Karl Scheffler, author of Berlin: Ein Stadtschicksal

Berlin is a city damned forever to become, never to be.

Berlin ist eine Stadt, verdammt dazu, ewig zu werden, niemals zu sein.

1773, Carl Burney's der Musik Doctors Tagebuch seiner Musikalischen Reisen. Zweyter Band. Durch Flandern, die Niederlande und am Rhein bis Wien. Aus dem Englischen übersetzt, page 14 (section entitled "Courtray")

Die Verlegenheit ist nicht gering für einen Fremden auf einem Wege von ungefehr etlichen zwanzig Meilen, nicht weniger als vier sehr verschiedene Sprächen anzutreffen: Französisch, Flämisch, Wallonisch und Holländisch.

Allerdings sind das Flämische und Holländische einander so ähnlich, daß Eine Grammatik für beide Dialekte hinreicht[.]

1830, Das Ausland. Dritter Jahrgang. Monat Juli bis December. Num. 334. 30 November 1830, page 1342:

Mit dem Niederdeutschen (im eng. Sinn) zeigt sich das Niederländische sehr nahe verwandt. Dasselbe wird durch zwei lebende Sprachen repräsentirt, Holländisch und Flämisch. Obgleich das Flämische durch die französische Sprache bedeutend beeinträchtigt worden ist, so ist es dieser doch nicht ganz gelungen, dasselbe ganz zu verdrängen, ja in der neuern Zeit hat es sogar wieder einen Aufschwung genommen, der vielleicht durch Deutschlands Sieg über Frankreich noch an Kraft gewinnt.

1872. A. Braun, Die Ergebnisse der Sprachwissenschaft in populärer Darstellung, Cassel, p. 78 (https://books.google.com/books?id=nkhUAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA78)

Ihre beiden Zweige [i.e.: Die beiden Zweige der niederländischen Sprache], das Holländische und Belgische (Flämische), unterscheiden sich fast nur orthographisch; so z. B. werden holländisch die langen Vokale meist durch Verdoppelung, belgisch dagegen durch angehängtes e bezeichnet.
