▶ In this video, I explore the fascinating etymology (name origin and meaning) of Germany's 16 states, diving into the origins of their names and the historical and linguistic influences behind them. From Berlin’s Slavic roots to Bavaria’s connection to the Celtic tribe Boii, and from the medieval mystery of Württemberg to the Roman-influenced Rhineland-Palatinate - among many more!
