German

Etymology

[edit]

From Middle High German Wiene, Wienne, from Old High German Wienna, Wēnia, probably from a Vulgar Latin *Vedunia, itself from Proto-Celtic *widus (wood) or *weidus (wild). The Latin name Vindobona is probably not related at all, but at any rate cannot be the immediate source of the Old High German name.
